Australia and New Zealand are two distinct nations located in the southern Pacific Ocean. Both were claimed by Britain during the age of exploration and colonization in the 18th and 19th centuries. Australia was officially claimed by the British in 1770, while New Zealand was annexed in 1840 through the Treaty of Waitangi. These lands were subsequently developed as colonies within the British Empire.
