In 1788, when the British established a penal colony in Australia, there was not a formal war between the Aboriginal peoples and the British. However, tensions quickly escalated as British settlers encroached on Indigenous lands, leading to violent confrontations and resistance from Aboriginal groups. This period marked the beginning of a long and tumultuous relationship characterized by conflict, dispossession, and significant cultural disruption for Aboriginal Australians.
