Second Boer War - Australia got involved and helped the UK beat the Orange Free State and South African Republic Boxer Rebellion - Again Australia fought with Britain and quashed the uprising in China WW1 - Comprehensive victory for Australia, mainly carried by the UK Russian Civil War - Didnt go well for the Allied forces, we had to retreat. Mainly Australias fault (lol, no it wasnt) WW2- Comprehensive victory for Australia but again mainly carried by the UK Malayan Emergency - Victory for the UK and Australia Korean War - Stalemate (first time the UK didnt control to beat China in a conflict) Borneo Confrontation - Good victory for the UK and Australia, Malaysia was formed as a result Vietnam War - No UK and a disastrous defeat for Australia. Communists take control of most of the region. Gulf War - Victory for Australia but the USA and UK do most of the heavy lifting War in Afghanistan - Not a massive success but arguably a victory. The Taliban and Al-Qaeda werent comprehensively beaten. Iraq War - Comprehensive victory but again Australia only played a minor role War on ISIS - Ongoing
The only war that the UK didnt join Australia in resulted in them losing badly. Do Australia need the UK when it comes to armed conflicts?
