ANZAC

Anzac Day represents a Memorial Day for the Australian and New Zealand soldiers but why do we celebrate it?

Well it marks the first major military action fought by the Australian and New Zealanders. It all started in 1915 April 25, the Australian and New Zealand troops landed in turkey and was ready to fight, thinking that it would be cool to explore and earn respect for there country.

4 years later…  60,000 Australian soldiers died and 16,000… New Zealand soldiers died. Altogether 40 million people died in world war 1.

109 years later…  ANZAC  day was made to remember the soldiers that fought for WWI and New Zealanders and Australians celebrates ANZAC day every year on 25 of April and people celebrate it in many different ways by waking up early and having a big Kai to having and making an ANZAC cookies.
