Internment+of+Germans+during+World+War+One

During the years of World War 1, the German's were treated badly. They were put into internment camps simply because of the fact that they were the enemy. They were seem as 'aliens' and many changed their names in order to hide their German background so that they would not be hasseled or interned by the Australians who could suspect them of being spies and strong supporters of the opposing side.
