Colonisation of AustraliaIntroductionUnlike most countries whose history is clearly written down, most Australians have a sketchyunderstanding of their indigenous traditions of their county’s first people. The Aboriginals people occupied Australia before the Europeans arrived. The British were the first people to arrive in Australia as they were searching for new colonies after losing America during the American Revolution. The first British fleet of ships docked into Botany Bay on the 18thJanuary 1788 but later shifted to Sydney Harbour on 26th January. It is believed that the mainreason why the British sought out Australia was to decongest their homeland prisons and to settle some of her pardoned citizens. As with other colonies, Britain started by invading the Aboriginals in evicting them from their lands, infecting them with diseases that their immunity could not fight leading to deaths and force some of them into slavery.INVASIONAfter arriving in Sydney, Australia in 1788, the British did the same thing they did with the American Indians. They forced the Aborigines from the fertile lands. In the process, many indigenous people were killed as they tried to resist and to protect their lands. Many tribes of the Aborigines died out completely because of starvation. The food that they used to get freely from their land was no longer available. The freedom to roam freely in their land was curtailed ( Oxley & Stewart, 2017). Those who survived were forced into slavery, women, and children subjected to harsh working conditions doing everything as some women were imprisoned and used as sex slaves. The Aborigines were subjected to poverty and very hard-working conditions (Gammage, 2011).
