On this Remembrance day we remember the war said to be 'the war that will end war'.

But how much do we actually 'remember' through school, media and history books?

Australian school history doesn't touch on Australia's role in the fall of Japan's first liberal democratic movement; end of the British-Japanese Alliance; and the rise of ultranationalism post-World War 1. Japanese-Australia War History in Australia tends to be highly biased towards focus on World War 2.
