The British expanded their colonial possessions to Australia for an important reason. They needed more room for their prisoners.
Explorers settled in various locations around the world, including the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Australia. They established colonies, trading posts, and missionary outposts in these new lands as they sought to expand their empires and exploit new resources. Some famous settlements include the Spanish settlements in the Americas, the Dutch trading posts in Asia, and the British colonies in Australia.
People settle in British Columbia for its natural beauty, outdoor recreational opportunities, mild climate, diverse culture, and strong economy. Additionally, the province offers a high quality of life, good healthcare, and excellent education opportunities.
I think you mean which former British territory, since it is no longer a part of the UK. Australia is both a continent and country.
The British Empire extended to every continent except Antarctica. Some of the key territories under British rule included parts of North America, Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Caribbean.
The Aztecs settled on an island in Lake Texcoco because they saw an eagle perched on a cactus holding a snake in its beak, which they interpreted as a sign from their god Huitzilopochtli. They believed this was the chosen site for their capital city, Tenochtitlan.
Australia itself was not recognised as a source of flax and pine, but nearby Norfolk Island was. This was indeed one of the factors in the British authorities deciding to colonise Australia.
They colonized there to put all the prisoners there because of all the un inployment issues and the rise in crime in London
Governor Arthur Phillip led the First Fleet to Australia, establishing the first British colony in the land.
Australia was one of Britain's colonies. The first white people to settle in Astralia were British convicts in 1788 or so.
Australians speak English because the first Europeans to settle the continent were the British.
They started to settle in Australia after the Vietnam war in 1975
The British settled in Sydney from the arrival of the First Fleet, on 26 January 1788.
Australia was originally established as a penal colony, or convict settlement. The first Europeans to permanently settle in the country were British prisoners, and the officers and marines who led and guarded them.
Australia was not settled by people who wanted to go. The British shipped convicts there with not much more than the clothes on their backs.
The British and Europeans settle in North America. This was in Jamestown.
Migrants may settle anywhere in Australia they want to, but they tend to settle where there are employment opportunities, or often within their own cultural communities.
Yes. They settled in it, colonised it, developed it, populated it (in addition to the existing Indigenous populations and immigrants from other places), ruled it, controlled it, taxed it, traded with it and made laws about it for over 150 years. The British Monarch is still the Queen of Australia. All the capital cities of Australia (save Canberra) are developed from original British settlements. The national language of Australia is English, and the Union Jack is on the Australian flag. All in all, I would say that that is sufficient evidence that British people probably did settle in Australia.
