Summary
In recent years Anzac, an idea as much as an actual army corps, has become the dominant force within Australian history, overshadowing everything else. The commemoration of Anzac Day is bigger than ever, while Remembrance Day, VE Day, VP Day and other military anniversaries grow in significance each year. Anzac has seemingly become a sacred, untouchable element of the national identity.
