Edward Hargraves And The San Francisco Gold Rush

Indigenous Australians are probably descendants of the first modern humans to migrate out of Africa to Asia, roughly 70,000 years ago, arriving in Australia around 50,000 years ago.

As time progressed, colonists began to identify as Australian rather that British. During the time of federation over 80% of the population were Australian born. There were people

The Gold Rush made Australia largely colonised and continually expanding. In 1852, 370,000 immigrants arrived in Australia from many different countries. The economy boomed and many different cultures were introduced. Countries like England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, America, China and Germany showed up as the majority of diggers on the Australian census. The population continued to grow

The settlement of white Europeans in Australia was one of the most notable yet swept-under-the-rug events in history, just like other instances of he theft of land from rightful indigenous people. To Australia, Europeans brought with them disease, violence, and widespread turmoil, but also mechanic technology and advancements in communication and medicine. There are multiple sides to this debate, from the perspective of a native Australian, European invasion was horrific and ruined the natural order in place within the land, but a modern white man may say that settlement increased international ties and evolved the nation and functionality of Aboriginal life with

Australian Aborigines have had a traditional relationship with their land since they first came to the Australian continent somewhere from 40,000 to 60,000 years ago to 120,000 years ago (9:9). Before Europeans came and settled the same land, the Aborigines had their own law system, trading systems, and way of caring for their land (12:1-2). Then the First Fleet of Europeans landed at Botany Bay in New South Wales in 1788. The expedition lead by the new Governor Phillip, but directed by King George the Third, was told to endeavor by every possible means to open intercourse with the natives, and to conciliate their affections, enjoining all our subjects to live in amity and kindness with them. And

While the United States of America were developing and people there were exploring the territory, land and its natural resources, they discovered gold under the earth’s surface, in the mines. In January, 1848, James W. Marshall, found a shiny yellow piece of metal, wandering along the tailrace on the American River. Afterwards the inspection, he claimed that it was a gold nugget. (Bancroft, Hubert Howe (1889). History of California, Volume 23: 1843–1850. San Francisco: The History Company. pp. 32–34.) At that time, with reference to “History of California” written by Hubert Howe, the famous Gold Rush took place in California. Miners were working hard in order to search for more gold pieces. However, miners needed a strong, high quality material

In the 17th century, a group of explorers from Britain set foot on the only continent in the southern hemisphere. They named the continent New Holland, which is now Australia. After James Cook declared this place to the United Kingdom, Britain also began colonizing the continent(https://www.australia.com/en/facts-and-planning/history.html ). The first immigrants settled in Sydney. They called themselves the first people living on this continent.

The first boat people to arrive in Australia seeking permanent residence probably did so some 40,000 years ago; we say probably because some authorities believe that the aborigines walked across a land bridge.(1)

Captain James Cook first discovered Australia in 1770, but Australia was founded by Captain Arthur Phillip on January 26, 1788. Captain Phillip brought in convicts to the colony of the New South Wales, establishing Australia. An agricultural work farm was established by Captain Phillip for the British convicts. Later on, January 26 1818 became the official anniversary of British settlement in Australia. And the year 1986 was when Australia became Independent from Great Britain.

One of Australia 's major historical event is the first sighting of Australia by Willem Janszoon in 1606. Originally it was known as New Holland l, and then in 1788 British settlement occurred. It want until “January 1, 1901” that Australia gained independence “from the federation of UK colonies” (Pearson). It wasn 't till after World War II that “Australia became increasingly active in world affairs” (Australia).

Gold is the greatest element ever to exist Maybe that’s why I chose to write about it It can be found in a solid state, in a river, or a faraway lake 196.9 is its total mass And it’s definitely a solid, not a gas Its weight is heavy to hold it feels smooth and cold Its yellow, shiny surface is very pretty, But it’s too expensive and soft to be used to make cities.

Many people believe that Australia was discovered in 1788 by the British, or was it? There are multiple theories that not only were the British not the first people to discover Australia, but that they may have landed in Australia many years prior to Captain Cook's voyages. This essay will discuss the various theories of countries visiting Australia before the British, British arrival before Cook, and then my opinion of the validity of these theories. When reading this essay it is important to note that most of these theories cannot be proven 100%, so it is important that nothing written should be taken as the entire truth as all evidence is only put forward by historians.

In the late 1700s lived James Pierce, an explorer from England. He set course for Australia on his ship, the Adelaide, to colonize the coast of Australia.

It is said that humans have been on this continent from somewhere around 60,000 years. “Prior to British settlement, more than 500 Indigenous nations inhabited the Australian continent, approximately 750,000 people in total. Their cultures had developed over 60,000 years, making Indigenous

The Indigenous Australians migrated to the Australian mainland from another continent during the last great Ice Age, moving across then then-much-smaller sea by boat [5] or land bridges [36]. This was one of the first known migrations or travel over sea in human history [5]. Because Aboriginals kept know written history [36], Australia has become known as the “lost
