Europeans disrupted the Aboriginal peoples way of life.

When the British were colonizing Australia, Europe became overcrowded. Australia had more space there which made Europeans immigrate over to Australia. This caused an increased population.

European Imperialism in Australia By:Shayla Cullers

The Aboriginal people and the British began being at war with each other over limited resources.

The first eleven ships to be sent to Australia were known as "the founders of Australia"

Effects of Colonization

  • Australia's natural resouces were running low due to Britain's gain
  • A lot of Aboriginal people were killed because of new diseases introduced to the area.

Reasons why Australia was Imperialized

George Augustus Robinson was sent in to find the Aboriginal survivors and to promise them a new and better place.

  • To send prisoners into Australia so there would be no overcrowding.
  • They had natural resources that Britain needed.
  • They wanted to expand the British Empire.

The remaining Aboriginal people were killed by the military.

The British government stepped in to try and stop the conflict by proposing a law allowing the military to be involved.
