  1. australia governed papua new guinea from 1920 to 1972 when png voted for independence. the reason being was it was governed by germany but we f'd germany up in ww1. the japanese tried to take png in ww2 and they got nearly all the way to port moresby they were met by australian volunteer militia commanded by junior officers and they were called chocolate soldiers by experienced soldiers. they had to hold off the japanese until reinforcements could arrive. if the japanese took port moresby they had a direct line of attack for australia. the kokoda track battle was 6 months of jungle warefare finished when the japanese were driven back to the us forces waiting in northern png . i recommend you watch kokoda the movie.
