In the Pacific, Australia entered the multi-lateral ANZUS treaty, consolidating the nation's independence of Britain; Communist China pressed its claims to replace Taiwan on the Security Council; Queen Elizabeth II began her long reign; and adventurism by Egypt set the stage for the Suez crisis. Despite Stalin's death, the Soviet grip on eastern Europe grew.
Julius Stone (19071985) was Challis professor of jurisprudence and international law at the University of Sydney from 1942 to 1972, then adjunct professor at the University of New South Wales, until his death.
