La colonización británica de Australia en los siglos XVIII y XIX

Abstract

At the end of the eighteenth century took place the discovery and the consequent colonization of Australia under the charge of the British Crown. The purpose of our investigation is to study the causes and the effects of this process that took place in the last years of the Modern Age. For that, we studied the phases of the process of the discovery that would be followed by the colonization of the territory. We contextualized it in the context of “Colonial Empires Era” where we analyzed the different major powers and the types of colonies they developed to obtain a great number of economic profits. Finally, we studied the economic advances and the process of construction of the australian nation at the arrival of the colonists. While, we highlighted the consequences of the colonization and the construction of this identity to the aborigine population.
