Discuss the social and economic impact of the First World War on either Australia or New Zealand.

Candidates are required to offer a considered and balanced review of the social and economic impact of the First World War on either Australia or New Zealand. For social impact in Australia, candidates may discuss the changing role of women, the problems dealing with returning soldiers and the development of a sense of national identity separate from the UK. Economic impact may include the disruption to trade, the development of Australian domestic industry focused on the war effort and the rise of trade unions. For New Zealand, candidates may discuss the social developments of nationhood and national identity as well as the changing role of women. Economically New Zealand experienced limited impact although it did develop a more war-focused economy.
