The British used their colonies in New Zealand and Australia primarily for agricultural development, resource extraction, and as penal colonies. Australia served as a destination for convicts, providing labor for the growing settlements, while both regions offered land for farming and access to valuable resources like wool, minerals, and timber. Additionally, these colonies were strategically important for expanding British influence in the Pacific region.
