Exploration & Colonization Australia’s History The Impact of European Exploration & Colonization

European Exploration In 1770, Captain James Cook sailed around Australia. Cook named the area “New South Wales”. He ignored the Aborigines living there & claimed the land for England. Sailors also mapped the coast of eastern Australia & Tasmania.

Prisoners as Colonists The American Revolution forced the British to stop sending prisoners to Georgia (used as a penal colony at the time). Great Britain had to start looking for another place to send its prisoners… Australia seemed like a good choice: no chance of escape, no colonies around it, and very few indigenous people lived there.

Penal Colony In 1787, British ships called the “First Fleet” left England with convicts to establish a prison colony. In 1788, British prisoners settled in Australia.

The Perfect Colony Great Britain saw that Australia was a good location to base its navy in the South Pacific Ocean. Its location would make it possible for British ships to make repairs & get supplies. Australia also had many opportunities for trade with Asia and the Americas.

Commonwealth of Australia Non-prisoner colonization continued… The major coastal settlements soon became 7 independent colonies. In 1861, government officials created boundaries for the colonies that are still in place today.

“White Australia” Immigration Restriction Act of 1901: restricted migration to people primarily of European descent This was dismantled after World War II. Today, Australia has a global, non-discriminatory policy and is home to people from more than 200 countries.

Australia Today In 1986, the Australia Act severed all legal ties with the British Empire. Today, Australia is a parliamentary democracy (constitutional monarchy) with Elizabeth II as queen. 1999: 55% of voters rejected the idea of becoming an independent republic.
