There are many events that have affected Australia overrall, here I will show you the main events though;

  • The First Fleet- This marked the beginning of European settlement.
  • The Australian Frontier War- This war killed over 20,000 Aborigines and over 2,500 Europeans.
  • The Gold Rush Era- Marked a huge economic boom in Australia as well as a large influx of migrants.
  • The Eureka Rebellion- Following this was the Battle of the Eureka Stockade which marked the birth of democracy in Australia.
  • Federation- The states of Australia federated in 1901 to become a single country.
  • Both WW1 and WW2- These 2 wars left huge scars on the Australian identity as well as over 100,000 dead and famous battles such as Gallipoli and Kokoda.
  • The 1975 Australian Constitutional Crisis.
  • The 2000 Olympics were held in Sydney and changed the international perception of Australia both culturally and economically.

There are many other events.
