Australia was colonized by Great Britain, beginning with the establishment of a penal colony in New South Wales in 1788. The British sought to alleviate overcrowding in their prisons and to expand their empire by claiming new territories. The colonization also aimed to exploit Australia's Natural Resources and establish agricultural settlements, leading to significant displacement of Indigenous populations and disruption of their cultures.
