What were the experiences of child soldiers in the Iran-Iraq War?

What were the experiences of child soldiers in the Iran-Iraq War?

(0)
Child soldiers were used by both the Iranians and Iraqis, but it was Iran that used children in enormous numbers, 150,000 children and teenagers (as young as 12 years). The education system supported the practice. Ayatollah Khomeini encouraged it and actually met frequently with leaders of the Basiji forces. They were indoctrinated, armed (mostly) and placed in combat situations. They also filled Iraqi POW camps for years after the conflict ceased. Having personally met families who lost children in the war I can only begin to appreciate the years of grief that followed.

What was the impact of the spread of the Vietnam War to Cambodia?

(0)
Norodom Sihanouk maintained the independence of Cambodia in the 1960s by carefully keeping the regional powers, China, North Vietnam and the USA satisfied with Cambodia's support for each of these. However, the vacillations did not please other Cambodian politicians and led to tacit support for the North Vietnamese Army using Cambodian territory for the Ho Chi Minh Trail and the USA bombing eastern Cambodia in Operation Menu. The policy collapsed completely when the USA invaded in 1970 and Vietnam in 1975. This source-based homework task is designed for students of the NSW Ancient History Syllabus.

First Australians Episode 4: No Other Law

(0)
This episode of First Australians gives an excellent academic account of the first 50 years of contact between the Arrernte people of central Australia and the European missionaries, pastoralists and police. What makes it so amazing is that the narrative is seen by both the lens of the Arrernte people and that of the European settlers. Issues covered include: laws and Dreaming stories of the Arrernte people and the importance of this to the lives of the people, early relations between Arrernte and European peoples, the impact of pastoralism, frontier conflict and atrocities, and the clash of Arrernte beliefs and Christian missionaries. An excellent case-study in contact history.
