Did you know that Australia was once thought of as an undesirable place to live?Long before Australia started to be considered one of the best places in the world to live, it was thought to be completely unlivable. In the 15th century, the European race to claim land began. Despite the fact that Australia was a large landmass, no nation believed it was worth colonizing. The land was claimed by the Netherlands. However, little exploration happened there.Many countries actually believed it to be uninhabitable. However, the Aboriginal populations had already been thriving on the land for millennia. This allowed the Australian Aborigines the opportunity to truly develop their unique and complex cultures and systems. Nearly 100 years after the Dutch-named the landmass New Holland, James Cook, a British captain, charted the eastern coast. He suggested it should be revisited.In this book, you will learn about:Where Australia’s first people came fromThe diet, lifestyles, and beliefs of Australia’s AboriginesHow the first European contact with the Aboriginals actually wentThe exciting discoveries of the British voyages to AustraliaHow well did the Aborigines and the European settlers get alongAll the political, social, and judiciary developments in the settlementsThe Australian gold rushes and how they impacted the region and beyondAustralia’s development into a unique nation, one separate from EnglandHow big of a role did Australia play during World War I and World War IIWhat Australia is up to todayScroll up and buy now to learn more about this interesting and diverse continent!©2022 Captivating History (P)2022 Captivating History
