1) Fewer of them die of starvation. Aboriginal tribes were, for the most part, hunter-gatherer societies. Any change in the weather or the migration patterns of game animals could lead to death. The Europeans, for the most part, were agrarian societies. They lived in fixed locations and grew crops and raised livestock. Agrarian societies produce a LOT more food than hunter-gatherers.
2) Less death from disease. Initially, when Europeans and aborigines interacted, both sides suffered from exposure to new diseases. The aborigines tended to get the worst of it, because of their lack of technological and societal development in the area of health. After a time, European sanitary and medical practices spread, and the aborigines stopped dying as frequently from diseases that would have been endemic in their hunter-gatherer days.
3) The aborigines were exposed to different ideas about how humans should organize themselves, religion and property. Aborigines tended to live very insulated lives before the Europeans settled their land, rarely interacting with anybody outside of their own tribe. Most tribal structures fell apart in the face of this exposure to new and obviously better ideas.
I would not use the "obviously better" line in a paper. Your teacher will probably call you a racist. Race has nothing to do with it, but European cultural superiority does. The Europeans grew as fast as they did and colonized other nations because they had a superior culture that produced science, growing economies, new ideas and military technology. The aborigines clearly did not, or they would have been colonizing the Europeans right back.
4) Travel became easier. European colonists tended to build roads almost as soon as they landed. These roads were non-existent in most aboriginal lands. Why travel game trails and risk breaking your horse's ankle when you can take the road and get there twice as fast with half the trouble?
5) Many of them were educated. Education that does not have to rely on memorizing the lessons of the local shaman was a big step forward.
6) Many of them moved to cities, or built cities themselves. This is clearly a huge difference from the normal hunter-gatherer lifestyle of living in mobile tents following game trails.
When Aboriginal cultures collided with Europeans, there were significant conflicts and misunderstandings due to differences in values, beliefs, and customs. Europeans brought diseases, which decimated Aboriginal populations. The introduction of new technologies and resources also disrupted Aboriginal ways of life, leading to the loss of traditional practices and livelihoods.
The assertion that Aboriginal peoples had a "bad impact" on Europeans is a perspective that requires careful consideration. European colonization often led to significant negative consequences for Indigenous populations, including displacement, disease, and cultural disruption. While there were conflicts and tensions, these arose primarily from European expansion and exploitation rather than from Aboriginal actions. It's essential to recognize that the impact of colonization was overwhelmingly detrimental to Aboriginal communities.
When Europeans arrived in Australia, significant changes occurred in Aboriginal societies, including the introduction of new diseases that devastated Indigenous populations. European colonization led to the dispossession of land, disruption of traditional lifestyles, and imposition of foreign legal and social systems. Additionally, many Aboriginal cultures faced erosion due to forced assimilation and the loss of cultural practices. These changes resulted in lasting impacts on Aboriginal identity and community dynamics.

Damper was a European invention, so traditional Aborigines did not eat damper. Aboriginal tribes would make their own breads out of seed of plants they collected, but they did not make damper from flour and water as Europeans did.
Pemulwuy was an Aboriginal warrior who led resistance against European settlers in Australia in the late 18th century. He used guerrilla tactics such as ambushes and raids on settlements to disrupt European expansion into Aboriginal lands. His actions inspired other Indigenous people to resist colonization.

When Europeans took over Aboriginal land, it led to widespread displacement, violence, and cultural disruption for Indigenous peoples. Colonization often resulted in forced removal from traditional territories, introduction of diseases, and significant loss of life due to conflicts and lack of immunity to new illnesses. The imposition of European legal systems and land ownership concepts undermined Aboriginal cultures and practices, leading to long-lasting social, economic, and political challenges for Indigenous communities. This legacy continues to affect Aboriginal peoples today, contributing to struggles for rights, recognition, and reconciliation.
European settlement change the lives of the aboriginal people by displacing them from many places and by bringing in new customs. The aboriginal people were often forced to change to adapt to having the Europeans there.
