When you invade some ones territory there are bound to be disagreements about water rights fences and many other things so to convince the aboriginals in the futility of resistance you simply shoot those that haven died from the disease you have introduced. The whites didn't even concede that aboriginals were people.

Aboriginal does not really mean anything. The Aborigines are a people indigenous to Australia, they inhabited the land far before the white settlers moved there and are now a protected culture.
The first people in Australia where black or white?

Why did the British kill the aboriginals?
There were a number of reasons why the white British settlers had conflict with the indigenous people of Australia. Primarily, it was the feeling of white supremacy, the sense that they were superior, and that the Aborigines were mere savages, not really even considered people. The British were out to conquer the land, regardless of anyone or anything that stood in their way. There were many cultural misunderstandings: the Aborigines were naturally a generous and sharing group of people, and they had no concept of ownership. When they were trying to "share" the british stock animals, this was seen as theft and, in a struggling colony, was an offence punishable by death as far as the white settlers were concerned. Some groups of british aimed to decimate the aborignal population entirely, thereby being able to gain the land for themselves. Naturally, Aborigines reacted with some hostility to being forced off their own land, but their spears were no match for British guns.

How did the colonization by the British and Europeans affect the aborigines' lives?
Colonisation by the British settlers completely changed the way of life for the Aborigines, having a long-lasting effect on their culture and traditional way of life for all generations that followed. When the white settlers came, the Aborigines were dispossessed of their land and, much later, "encouraged" onto reserves, supposedly for their protection. They were forced off their traditional hunting grounds, and herded away from the fertile coastal areas where there was plenty of food. White settlers wrecked the very effective native fishing traps, cleared native habitats and reduced the native food supplies, as well as polluting their water. Massacres of the indigenous people occurred on a regular basis. The Coniston massacre, the massacre at Myall Creek, the "Battle of Risdon" in Tasmania and many others, all were perpetrated against the Aborigines by the Europeans. There were years of conflict between Tasmanian Aborigines and white settlers which eventually resulted in the loss of the purebred aboriginal race from Tasmania - virtually genocide. The Europeans also introduced foods and diseases, all of which were perfectly harmless to the white settlers, but lowered the life expectancy of the aboriginal people. Simple diseases like Measles and Influenza had devastating effects on Aborigines. Foods containing wheat and sugar resulted in heart disease and obesity among the indigenous Australians. Europeans introduced new flora and fauna which took over native habitat, leading to the extinction of many plants and animals on which the Aborigines relied. When the aboriginal children were forcibly taken from their families, this directly led to a loss of culture, language, customs and traditions among the Aborigines. When the Europeans first came to Australia, there were around 250 different aboriginal languages in Australia. There is just a fraction of that number now. Many stories from the aboriginal Dreaming (creation legends) have disappeared forever.

Why did the Australians commit genocide in their treatment of the Aborigines?
The British who colonised Australia suffered the same delusions that many others of their time suffered, that is, the misconception that Aborigines were mere savages, and inferior to "whites". For this reason, they set out to remove all traces of Aborigines from Australia. Sometimes this was done in outright massacres, in the guise of defending white man's property. Other times, it was the deception that whites could look after the indigenous people better than Aborigines could look after themselves; thus, the whites sought to remove the Aborigines to mission stations and government-run reserves.
What year did the white settlers come to Australia?
The First Fleet brought the first official white settlers to Australia on 26 January 1788. These were the convicts, officers and marines, and their families. However, indications are that white settlers arrived long before this. The western coast of Australia is littered with wrecks of early Dutch ships, and there is evidence that survivors of these shipwrecks established settlements on Australia's western coast.
