What happened during the black war?

Answer 1

The Black War (1824-1831) was a violent conflict between British colonists and the Indigenous Tasmanian population in Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania). The war arose from the colonists' expansion into Indigenous lands, leading to widespread displacement, violence, and massacres of the Aboriginal people. The conflict resulted in significant loss of life and the near destruction of the Tasmanian Aboriginal population, ultimately leading to their marginalization and a tragic decline in their cultural heritage. The war is a stark reminder of the impacts of colonization on Indigenous communities.
