What is there to fight about

>>1554722
The Seven Years War ensured it would be the Brits and not the French and Dutch who got Australia.
Of course the struggle of the brave natives in resisting British perfidy is the true forgotten war.

Remember the Emus!

>>1554722

Because everyone else took one look at the weird animals and abundant, horrifying spiders and melted-face natives and >noped the fuck out of there.

Also who wants to declare war to seize a penal colony with no apparent resources that it takes almost a year to get to (if you survive)?

They're a good reason not to fight. Emus are like ten times worse than indigenous savages.

They're like savages that can run faster over unimproved ground than a jeep, cannot be killed with human germs, and can never be subjugated into slavery or civilized.

the british were seriously concerned about invasion for a very long time. the french and dutch were eyeing off various places and established some footholds here and there, e.g. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Perouse,_New_South_Wales

they couldn't hack it in the long term though, no major support from their govts as there was from britain to establish a colony.

What war? It was a massacre...on the Aussie side.

They didn't realize it had one of the biggest gold sources in the world and though it was worthless.

No one knew about the opals and gold until later, Bruce.

Did you bunk off school or do you simply have poor reading comprehension?

Unlike Zimbabwe and Sudaan then?

That was a meme

>>1554722
Brits fought local abos during the colonisation period. It was only ever colonised by one power, and with the isolation by massive oceans from any other major power, it means no war ever reached here. Worst that ever happened was Japanese bombing raids.

>>1554722
Because nobody else wanted it
