The colonization of America vs Australia

         

      The colonization of America made me think of Australia. I was wondering if the colonization of Australia had the same scenario as America. They were in fact very similar except there was only one major player that was the English empire. When the English decided to use the Australian land as prisons after the American colonies protested against them, they treated the indigenous people just as bad as they treated the Native American. They hunted them down, chased them off their lands and spread their imported diseases among them. Their population decreased from hundreds of thousand
s to near extinction. They had around three hundred languages that most of them disappeared. Their history vanished and they were forced eventually to adopt the English way life including the language, fashion and being slaves to a white master.  The subtle differences between the Native Australian and the Native American is that at least the natives in America could, at some point, ally themselves with one or more of the major players on the continent. Because there were several armies fighting each other, they sometimes opt to make a temporary peace with the natives since they were of use to them. Sometimes those major powers simply couldn't afford to start another war with the natives. Most of the time, their relationship was based on supply and demand. When the natives were needed, they were treated fairly. However, when their lands became more valuable than they did, they received a harsh treatment. The native Australians never had that luxury but eventually both nations ended up the same.
