The Battle of Brisbane – When Allies Turned on Each Other

In 1942, thousands of American troops arrived in Brisbane, Australia—bringing money, charm, and supplies the locals hadn’t seen in years.

But resentment grew.

Australian soldiers were underpaid and overlooked.
Tensions flared over women, curfews, and military police.

Then, on November 26, 1942, the unthinkable happened:
American and Australian troops erupted into a two-night street war.

Shops were looted.
Soldiers were beaten.
One man was killed—and the press was told to stay silent.

This is the true story of The Battle of Brisbane—a WWII riot hidden in plain sight.
