One of the main effects of the war was to start the 'migration revolution' of post-war Australia. The Australian Government had fears of invasion, and believed that we had to 'populate or perish'. Traditional sources of migrants were not available in large enough numbers, so Australia started accepting refugees and displaced persons from the northern and eastern European countries. This was the beginning of the end for 'White Australia' and the start of modern multiculturalism.
