Conflicts between aboriginal people of Australia and British settlers began when the first settlers landed in 1788, and lasted for nearly one hundred and fifty years. Nearly 2500 settlers and over 20,000 Aborigines died during the conflicts. In addition to the wars, the British settlers brought other devastating problems to the indigenous people including disease, starvation, loss of hunting areas and loss of pride.
