An example of historical contact is: The English/British settlers came into CONTACT with the Aboriginals of Australia. Historical contact is when to different cultures associate and create history to dramatically changed people's lives. By invading someone else' land that obviously doesn't belong to them settlers changed the Aboriginal's lives by claiming the land was theirs, the Aboriginal tribes were upset because something that had been theirs for a long time had just been taken away from them for no reason.

It just like if you came home and suddenly said "You weren't in here at the time and you have no proof, you no longer own this property!" You would then understand the rage and anger the the Aboriginals felt when the settlers arrived. When the settlers arrived the Aboriginals tried to fight back but most of them were unsuccessful and were killed or put into jail and later were hanged.
