may 13, 1787 - Establishment of the 1st Colony In Australlia
Description:
The first colony in Australia was established by the British as a penal colony after James Cook’s voyage charted its eastern coast. Convicts were the primary residents of Australia until the 1830s when European migrants began to actively pursue colonization. Aboriginals rarely interacted with these settlers and Australia did not provide many goods to the outside world. (4.3)Added to timeline:
