How did the Suez Canal influence the spread of Western European imperialism?
The Suez Canal greatly aided Western imperialism. Before the canal was built,
ships trading with Asia had to travel around the southern tip of Africa. By connecting the
Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea, the canal significantly reduced the sailing time from Europe to
trading destinations in the East. For example, the map shows that the canal reduced the trip from London to Mumbai, India, by 5,100 miles (8,200 km). Also, the canal helped to increase foreign
control of Egypt. Europeans made high-interest loans to the ruler of Egypt for building the canal and other projects. When the Egyptian ruler could not repay the loans, the British bought his shares of the canal, gaining controlling interest.

When and how did Australia become colonized?
Colonisation of Australia occurred with the arrival of the First Fleet on 26 January 1788. lieutenant James Cook had already claimed the eastern coast of Australia for England under the name of New South Wales in 1770, and colonisation cemented this claim.
The British decided to colonise Australia for several reasons:
1. To expand the British empire, and prevent the French from gaining a foothold in the Australian continent or in the southwest Pacific.
2. To solve the problem of Britain's overcrowded prisons (a consequence of the Industrial Revolution) by establishing a new penal colony in a land which showed promise for eventually becoming self-supporting. Britain had been sending their excess prisoners to North America, but the American War of Independence put a stop to the practice. Following this, the English were no longer able to transport surplus prisoners who couldn't legally be executed to North America.
3. Australia could provide commercial and political gains to Britain.
4. Due to war, Britain needed to find an alternative supply of Flax and timber as her Baltic supply was under threat. It was believed that nearby Norfolk Island would provide this.
5. Britain needed a port in the East to promote trade with China and to extend its naval and commercial power.
6. The continent had natural resources which England wanted.
The first permanent settlers arrived in Australia with the First Fleet on 26 January 1788 to set up the new penal colony.

Mostly it affects the economic side. What with the debt they left us, Indonesia is still working hard to pay all debts. Second is the education. Imperialism planted in the people's mind that education is not important. The most important thing is how to produce more and more spices in order to be paid. But now education is a priority. The government of Indonesia has made sure of that.
