In December 1941, the Japanese attacked the Americans at Pearl Harbour, ushering in a new phase of the war. Suddenly, the fighting was not thousands of miles away in Europe and Africa, but much closer to home, approaching Australian shores rapidly down the South-East Asian peninsula. People in Western Australia began to genuinely fear for their safety and security. Japanese submarines were sighted off the coast, Japanese planes bombed Darwin, and when the supposedly impregnable British fortress at Singapore fell in February 1942, things looked dire.
