World War I, also known as the Great War, began in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria.&nbsp;His murder catapulted into a war across Europe that lasted until 1918. During the conflict, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire the Central Powers fought against Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Romania, Japan and the United States the Allied Powers.

Australia’s involvement in the First World War began when Britain and Germany went to war on 4 August 1914, and both Prime Minister Joseph Cook and Opposition Leader Andrew Fisher, who were in the midst of an election campaign, pledged full support for Britain. The outbreak of war was greeted in Australia, as in many other places, with great enthusiasm. The first significant Australian&nbsp;action of the war was the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force’s (ANMEF) landing on Rabaul on 11 September 1914. The ANMEF took possession of German New Guinea at Toma&nbsp;on 17 September 1914 and of the neighbouring islands of the Bismarck Archipelago in October 1914. On&nbsp;9 November 1914 the Royal Australian Navy made a major contribution when HMAS&nbsp;Sydney&nbsp;destroyed the German raider SMS&nbsp;Emden.
