Why is Australia's military weak?

If you have seen the simple history of Australia, you will know that it is a penal colony. Although it eventually became a dominion, its economic status in the Commonwealth was very low at that time, which could not be compared with the wealth brought by India, the jewel in the crown of the British Empire. India is the cornerstone for the British Empire to dominate the world.

The second is South Africa. Everyone knows the origin of gold and diamonds. Even Canada and now Malaysia and Singapore are better than him. What was in Australia then? It's a remote place. During World War II, the total population just exceeded 7 million. No one came. This is just to improve some wool and export minerals. You know, Australia's super-large mine that shocked the world has not yet been discovered, and so has New Zealand next to it. However, there are not many aborigines because they are all of British descent. Of course, most of the aborigines were killed. The fighting capacity is much stronger than that of oppressed and colonized Indians. In addition, since 1905 became a dominion, Australia has implemented the policy of "white Australia", that is to say, Chinese, Malays and Indonesians want nothing but white people, and without population, how can they have the strength of a single economy?

Second, Australia has long formed the mentality of choosing a side station, which is related to its long-term superpower protection. British empire, home country, don't talk. World War II began to mix with the United States. Seeing that Japan occupied the whole Southeast Asia, he immediately came to Britain for help. The British Empire itself was done by Germany. How can we support it? Several divisions sent by Australia to support the motherland are still fighting the Germans in North Africa. The key is that the Australian division has good combat effectiveness. The British refused to let people go, and Australian Prime Minister Curtin was forced to immediately embrace the big thick legs of the United States. Since then, he has been mixed up with the United States, so their people's mentality is to live a comfortable life with their big brother, without the ambition and strength to dominate the world.

Third, they became rich after World War II, and many countries immigrated, but they have integrated into the American economic system. As a member of the political, military and economic chains like Canada, Japan and Germany, it has completely lost the possibility of becoming a powerful country, because under this system, only the younger brothers with various purposes are trained, and the economy and the military are deeply tied. If you look at European countries, Japan and Canada, you will know that the younger brothers in this chain are all Americans.

In fact, the fundamental reason is that Australia has never thought too much ambition. With such a high welfare and so much money, I still buy ore, and even my own industry is not determined to develop and improve. After World War II, Germany and Japan, with the support of the United States, re-emerged with the nationality of Germany and Japan, so he just lived comfortably. Like New Zealand and Canada, they have never been brilliant, so they have no sense of loss, no spirit of struggle and no ambition to return to the status quo. Completely different from China, China will regain its strength even if it is lost for a hundred years.
