British colonization of Australia
vendredi 1 avril 2016 à 02:00Was the British colonization of Australia an invasion?
Colonization is not synonymous with invasion. The British colonization of Massachusetts started very slowly and did not become a violent conflict until many years had gone by.
The colonization of Australia, starting 170 years later, went much faster; exiled were sent by thousands. "Invasion" could be an accurate term for that.
