Forging a Nation: Australia’s Path to Federation | Full Documentary

Описание: From daring outlaws to opera legends, this episode explores the defining moments that shaped Australia’s identity. Bushranger Frank Gardiner masterminds Australia’s biggest heist in 1862, securing his place in folklore. Meanwhile, Dame Nellie Melba, a determined soprano, overcomes the odds to become one of the world’s most celebrated opera singers in the late 19th century. But Australia’s progress is not without struggle—industrial conflicts between workers and business leaders in the 1890s lay the foundation for a more progressive and fair society, though not for all. As the 20th century dawns, the separate colonies unite in 1901 to form the Commonwealth of Australia, only to be thrust onto the world stage with the outbreak of World War I in 1914, testing the young nation’s resolve.
