Discovering History - Upper Primary: 20th Century (Migration To Australia)

Enhanced by immigration case studies, 20th Century explores migration to Australia during that time period. The book charts the changes in Australia’s immigration policies over the century. In the early decades of the 1900s, the new Australian Government’s immigration policy discriminated against non-Europeans, especially Asians, as the government tried to keep the country white. Towards the end of the 20th century, Australia’s immigration policy couldn’t have been more different.
