Download or read book New Zealand Prepares for War written by William David McIntyre and published by University of Canterbury, Canterbury University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does a small country prepare for war? How well prepared was New Zealand in 1939? ... this is the first comprehensive study of defence policy in peace-time. It considers everything from the grand strategy of alliances to military organisation and 'nuts and bolts". It poses vital questions which all Governments have to face. What must we defend? What can be threatened? Who might have the motive and the capacity to pose a threat? What circumstances might permit an attack? How could an enemy be deterred? If deterrence fails, how can an attack be countered? What allies will assist? David McIntyre shows, from files in the National Archives and surviving private papers, that between 1919 and 1939 successive New Zealand governments identified the Dominion's security with that of the British Empire by planning to send land and air expeditionary forces to help the British and by building a small navy as a "Division of the Royal Navy". New Zealand even helped to pay for the Singapore Naval Base. Yet German rearmament in the 1930s and aggressive acts by Japan and Italy cast doubts on imperial strategy. At the same time New Zealand was increasingly pre-occupied with the strategic position of the Pacific Islands. Not only were the Dominion's forces called on in four "police actions" in the islands, but there was an extraordinary dispute with the USA over the possession of numerous small islands, and New Zealand accepted responsibility for the defence of some of Britain's island colonies. Included in this study are fascinating glimpses of some great personalities -- such as Carl Berendsen, who was a one man ministry of foreign affairs, General Sinclair Burgess, who modernised the army, and Group-Captain Cochrane, the first Chief of Air Staff. We follow the running debate over compulsory military training ; observe the role of the armed services during civil disturbances; and see Bill Jordan's dramatic contributions in the League of Nations in the late 1930s. A concluding survey of the war effort, 1939-45, considers whether New Zealand prepared for the "right" war."--Inside front cover.

Book excerpt: The Great War is now typically regarded as senseless and futile, but most New Zealanders at the time considered it to be a war to preserve security and freedoms, to punish an aggressive enemy and to win a better world. Yet the war years proved a tumultuous time, and bitterness and animosities ran alongside idealism and sacrifice. Families were broken up as soldiers departed. Civil liberties were curtailed as the government wielded unprecedented powers. Divisive issues, economic volatility and a rising death toll all threatened resolve. Finally, in the last weeks of the war, a devastating influenza pandemic arrived in New Zealand and extracted a deadly toll. In The Home Front Steven Loveridge and James Watson offer a compelling account of how a small and developing country confronted the complex questions and brutal realities of a world war.

Book excerpt: New Zealanders have long remembered the First World War as their 'Great War'. Described as 'the most traumatic event in New Zealand's history', this war was responsible for more New Zealand deaths, both in relative and absolute terms, than any other conflict. In particular, the Gallipoli campaign appears to be indelibly etched in the nation's collective memory as a bloody touchstone for the forging of a distinct New Zealand identity. Drawing on presentations at a 2003 conference ('Zealandia's Great War'), this collection explores an impressive range of issues associated with this war experience. The 32 chapters are grouped within four broad categories: wider political, social and international perspectives; operational and combat experiences; social dimensions of the war effort; and the home front.
