Technically, they did "enter" Australia...

Joe, maybe you should learn what a term means before trying to explain it. The exact definition you quoted is an example of what happened in Darwin and the East Coast of Australia.
And just to clarify, I'm calm. I just don't like having to constantly repeat myself to these pseudo intellectuals on these forums who either don't know what they are arguing or don't read what the other person has to say.
For example, you state that Australia was not a main theatre for WW2. I say no one said it was. You elaborate further on that like I was disagreeing with you.
Please, just read what I say before you respond to it.
It sounds so simple but... I'll leave it at that.
