Answer 1

Many Aborigines died from diseases brought over, and the British also forcefully removed and displaced many Aborigines from their traditional lands. The British did not allow the Aborigines to govern themselves and instead imposed British laws and governance over them. The British also implemented policies that aimed to assimilate Aborigines into European culture, often forcibly removing Aboriginal children from their families to be raised in institutions or with European families. This policy is known as the Stolen Generations. The British did not pay Aboriginal children who attended British schools, but rather aimed to eradicate Indigenous culture and force assimilation into European society.
