So after the Americans declared independence, the UK was poor as fuck, weak as fuck and scared as fuck, and banned from starting conquering any new places which had "A people living as a nation" in them.

2017-02-10 08:46:14 UTC  

Meanwhile CAPTAIN COOK a navigator who had shown great skill in the seven years war (UK and France fought over who should own Quebec basically) had shown and interest in mapping out the southern hemisphere.

2017-02-10 08:47:41 UTC  

Mostly to get a good view of a solar eclipse so he could map out the true circumference of the earth. (He has also known for being poor with social stuff and incapable of keeping secrets, quite possibly autism).

2017-02-10 08:48:27 UTC  

And the british saw this as an opportunity:
Let him map out the "Unknown continent" south of indonesia that they knew about but never bothered to check on, get some information on the nature of the earth and perhaps gain a new colony in the process.

2017-02-10 08:49:04 UTC  

Now this was all fine and dandy more or less, cook found australia, sailed into cook's landing and sydney harbor, Banks his biologist found a buncha stuff and they revisited a few times.

2017-02-10 08:50:00 UTC  

There was one issue:
The british couldn't colonize anywhere "inhabited", and there was a population living here.

The australian aboriginals, usually seen today begging outside a petrol station.

2017-02-10 08:50:32 UTC  

Cook declared "Terra Nullius" that Australia was uninhabited and listed the Australian aboriginals as "Native Fauna", legally and biologically animals.

2017-02-10 08:50:42 UTC  

And then colonization started with the convict fleets.

2017-02-10 08:51:25 UTC  

Britains economy was fucked, fucked economy produces crime, crime means overflowing prisons.
So they sent all the criminals to australia.

There were a few runaways, except the continent is basically uninhabitable so they either returned or died quicksmart.

2017-02-10 08:52:25 UTC  

@Chancellor So what you're saying is that we need to send our convicts to the middle east to colonize it

Early state borders arose, each semi independent colonies, and with their own immigration, trade and governors (This included new zealand at the time).

2017-02-10 08:52:45 UTC  

Yes, but you also have to declare the arabs non human and hand out hunting permits to kill them as pests.

2017-02-10 08:53:25 UTC  

@Chancellor Already done in the US. 9/11 never forget brah

2017-02-10 08:53:33 UTC  

Bringing us to the next part:
Near complete extermination of the australian aboriginals.

They were "vermin and pests" in our property, hunting permits were given, they were slaughtered and broken. Australia was the white man's land.

2017-02-10 08:54:26 UTC  

Over time the states moved towards federation (Except new zealand the sheep fucking communists they are) and on January the first 1900 Australia was born! To a rousing "Okay, that's cool i guess" from the international community.

2017-02-10 08:54:54 UTC  

Also there's bush rangers, that doesn't lead into much but it's super important culturally.

This cunt, ned kelly went around in a full armoured bullet proof suit robbing stage coaches.
Also was known to save lives, a folk hero akin to American cowboys.

And this was the "Unofficial australian anthem" declined for not being official enough in favour of...

This shit they made me sing every day in primary school.

2017-02-10 08:57:48 UTC  

Over time things began to change.
The gold rush occured when gold was found, Eureka grow into a thriving gold mining town and immigrants european and... otherwise flooded to our beautiful shores.

2017-02-10 08:58:04 UTC  

Sydney was, for a time the largest city in the southern hemisphere.

2017-02-10 08:58:41 UTC  

There was gold in Australia?

2017-02-10 08:58:52 UTC  

And over time this began to breed contempt.

2017-02-10 08:59:04 UTC  

Lots of it, massive amounts, Australia is a mining country, once gold now coal.

2017-02-10 08:59:57 UTC  

The chinese were hated, coming solely as men, often picking the leftover of other miners and otherwise seeking to scam Australians.

This was generally despised along with some good old fashioned racism.

2017-02-10 09:00:57 UTC  

Every great country has racism though

Leading to the Eureka revolt, where we tried to revolt from british rule so as to stop chinese immigration to our lands.


It failed, of course, but ultimately resulted in the White Australia policy.

This, combined with the aboriginal mistreatment took up %90 of my history education in school.

2017-02-10 09:02:22 UTC  

It also let my grandparents immigrate here, since they made it easier for white people to come over.

2017-02-10 09:02:33 UTC  

Even had a prime minister who said publicly "Two wongs don't make a white"

2017-02-10 09:03:05 UTC  

Kek

2017-02-10 09:03:45 UTC  

Shitposting is a national tradition, like it's not online.

With the exception of full lefties everyone I know calls their mum a cunt.

2017-02-10 09:04:26 UTC  

Sydney harbour bridge, for a while our pride and joy, largest bridge in the world.
Many died in it's construction.

And when it opened a socialist rode up on a horse and illegally cut the ribbon because he felt he was unfairly denied the opening ceremony.

2017-02-10 09:04:40 UTC  

If you call a woman a cunt in the states, you would have been better off just killing her family.

2017-02-10 09:04:56 UTC  

She's hate you less

2017-02-10 09:05:13 UTC  

@Tee CA Then she's a cunt.

2017-02-10 09:05:32 UTC  

It hurts cuz it's true I guess

Also the Sydney opera house.
Built to honour the Australian aboriginal tradition of dreamtime or something via the shells that were once found.

2017-02-10 09:05:53 UTC  

I dunno, danish guy built it I think, looks cool.
