How did the battle of somme end?

The battle of the somme finished because the weather started to break out. There was no way that the battle was going to carry on and it was obvious it had to end.

By September, heavy rain started to break out and the ground began to turn into thick mud. However, the battle of somme didn't end there, it still dragged on until November. By then the ground was so muddy that even getting supplies to the front line was practically impossible. Nothing could move and it was difficult to tell whether there had been any losers or winners. People were so sure that the battle of somme had been a complete waste with over 1 million deaths on both sides and the Germans losing 500,000 soldiers.

Who was sent to Australia during the British Empire?

The main reason why British people were sent to Australia during Victorian times was to solve the problem of Britain's overcrowded prisons, which were a consequence of the Industrial Revolution. The First Fleet of convicts, overseen by British officers and marine, established 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.

In sending these people to Australia, several other issues were also addressed. It allowed for expansion of the British empire, and prevented the French from gaining a foothold in the Australian continent or in that part of the Pacific.

Australia also had natural resources which the British government intended to exploit, and thus Australia could provide commercial and political gains to Britain.

Britain also needed a port in the East to promote trade with China and to extend its naval and commercial power.
