Sejarah Australia: Perbedaan antara revisi

 

The [[Statute of Westminster 1931]] formally ended most of the constitutional links between Australia and Britain, but Australia did not [[Statute of Westminster Adoption Act 1942|adopt the Statute]] until 1942. The shock of Britain's defeat in Asia in 1942 and the threat of Japanese invasion caused Australia to turn to the United States as a new ally and protector. Since 1951, Australia has been a formal military ally of the US under the auspices of the [[ANZUS]] treaty. The final constitutional ties between Australia and Britain ended in [[1986]] with the passing of the [[Australia Act 1986]], ending any British role in the Australian States, and ending judicial appeals to the UK Privy Council. Australia remains a [[constitutional monarchy]] with [[Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom|Queen Elizabeth II]] the [[Queen of Australia]]; the 1999 [[Australian referendum, 1999|referendum to establish a republic]] was marginally rejected. Australia's links to its British past are increasingly tenuous. Since the election of the [[Gough Whitlam|Whitlam Government]] in 1972, there has been an increasing focus on the nation's future as a part of the Asia-Pacific region.-->
