Great Britain settled Australia as a prison colony in the late 18th century. The First Fleet, carrying convicts, arrived in botany Bay in 1788, marking the beginning of European colonization. This was largely due to overcrowding in British prisons and the need for a remote location to send convicts. Australia eventually transitioned from a penal colony to a thriving nation.
