| - Gaining independence as the Dominion of West Australia in 1903, the nation underwent an initial period of prosperity until the so-called 'Great Recession' of 1933-39 drew it into a nearly sixty-year period of ruin that began in 1934 when the national government underwent radical changes as the West Australian Communist Party (WACP) took hold and created a heavily militaristic and socialist state under Prime Minister Fred Paterson. It faced numerous international reprisals and sanctions throughout the Cold War for its' status as an essentially rogue nation in a constant state of belligerency with neighboring Australasia. During the Sumatra War, West Australia provided refuge for thousands of former Javanese Communists and served as a base for Communist guerrilla and pirate activities in and around Java, Timor, and Portuguese Timor. Rising discontent among the populace eventually culminated in the March Riots of 1990, and the subsequent collapse of PM Peter Symon's Communist government, which lead to the appointment of Acting Prime Minster Francis Burt in that year's unofficial August elections. The Governor-General position (and West Australia's status as a Dominion) was thereafter re-established in the elections of October 1992 when Richard Court was chosen for the position and was re-elected in a landslide in 1996. Court has done much to heal the nation's wounds both at home and abroad, initiating major construction projects across the nation and signing a half-dozen major international treaties and agreements.
