Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, originally commemorated by both countries on 25 April every year to honour the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps ( ANZAC ) who fought at Gallipoli in the Ottoman Empire during World War I.

Anzac biscuits have long been associated with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps ( ANZAC ) established in World War I.

The foreign relations of Australia have spanned from the country's time as Dominion and later Realm of the Commonwealth to become steadfastly allied with New Zealand through long-standing ANZAC ties dating back to the early 1900s, and the United States throughout the Cold War, to its engagement with Asia as a power in its own right.

This close relationship goes back to the time of the first World War and the ANZAC Spirit forged at Gallipoli.

In 1941 during World War II the ANZAC forces delayed the invading German forces in the area enough to allow the evacuation of the British expeditionary force to Crete.

The World Wars profoundly altered Australia's sense of identity-with World War I introducing the ANZAC legend, and World War II seeing a reorientation from Britain to the United States as the nation's foremost major ally.

The World War I ANZAC troops were said to often display irreverence in their relations with superior officers and dark humour in the face of battle.

ANZAC biscuits recall the diet of Australia's World War I soldiers at the Battle of Gallipoli.

All nine major powers of World War II, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and the ANZAC forces, are represented in the combined global game with unique units and colors.
