Best Answer

Invasion as defined by the Collins Concise Dictionary Australian Edition is : (1)"the act of invading with armed forces (2) any encroachment or intrusion." The British did not invade with a large, massed armed force but they did encroach and intrude on Indigenous land. Therefore they did invade to create a new settlement but the invasion came first.

British settlement forced the Aboriginal people off their land, took over their hunting grounds and destroyed their fishing traps.
