Historical Development of the Anzac Day and Commemorations in Australia

Summary/Abstract: The Australian and New Zealand Corps (Anzac), which participated in the First World War with the Allied Powers, landed on Gelibolu on April 25, 1915. A commemoration ceremony was held for the first time on 13 October 1915 in Adelaide, South Australia, to remember the soldiers who died and veterans of the war, and from 1916 onwards, 25 April, the day of the landing, became the day of commemoration in many states of Australia. Anzac Day, which gained a strong national significance in 1916 when the landing day was first commemorated, continued to be an important day for Australians in the 1920s, Anzac Day has become institutionalized by creating its own rituals over time. Anzac Day was enacted in the Australian Parliament in 1994 and gained formal recognition in the national arena. In the study, the historical development of Anzac Day in Australia is analyzed on the basis of the Anzac concept that emerged with the Dardanelles War.
