‘80th Anniversary of Victory in the Pacific ‘Discord’ Half Crown Commemorative Coin’​​​

​​

In 1937 Japanese forces invaded China. The Chinese fought the Japanese in China and Manchuria, with support from the United States of America and the Soviet Union, in a war that lasted until the Japanese surrendered at the conclusion of the Second World War in 1945. On 1 September 1939 Germany invaded Poland, and as a consequence Britain and France declared war on Germany.

 

This signalled the beginning of the Second World War. Although the war was on the other side of the world, Australia sent troops to support Britain. Thousands of men and women volunteered to fight and enlisted in the army, navy or air force. Many were sent to England, but the majority experienced the war in and around the Mediterranean Sea, Africa and later in the Pacific. They fought alongside British troops and personnel from other Allied countries in faraway places like Egypt, Libya, Greece and Syria. As the fighting continued in Europe and the Mediterranean, Japan was quietly developing its own plans to enter the war.
