I believe WW1 debts were still being paid up until the 1990s. Australia finished paying for it soldiers to be billetted in Europe, and armaments at around that time. It was interesting that the British negotiated a lower interest rate on those WW1 (1917 to 1918 war) loans, however never passed the lower rate on to Australia. Relative to population, our lives lost were the greatest of any nation involved in that war. Of course the the European wars were not really relevant to the US, they had nothing to gain by being involved.

Simply not true about deaths. According to Wikipedia, Australia lost 1.38% of population. NZ, which sent 103,000 (out of 1 million) lost 1.64%. At least we were better off than Serbia, which was 16.11%. Post-war calculations indicated that for both wars New Zealand suffered the highest ratio of soldiers killed per capita of population amongst Commonwealth countries.

About 'the system runs on bullshit'. Once you have learned that lesson, you simply look for it in any given situation, and your expectations are not so high. If you always ask the question 'who benefits ?' when you recognise the disingenuous crap, you can negotiate your way around it and do something positive.
