The Europeans were sent home, those that tried to stay were slaughtered.
Except in Northern Canada. There they reacted by trading for hundreds of years.

The Europeans thought nothing of the Aboriginals when they arrived on Australia's shores. As a matter of fact they saw Australia as empty land.

Like many other Europeans, he misjudged the Aborigines, not recognising their unique skills.
