Nyt islamilaisten terrori-iskut taisivat lopettaa IRA:n touhut.
Lainaa..The French explorers went even farther by having cultural exchanges with the locals and by sharing a bit of their family ways and traditions in a spirit of friendship and acceptance. These were times “of promising warmth and openness, of recognition of a common humanity.” For a moment in time, it looked like two societies could coexist on the same land.
The British colonisation of the island started with small steps, but no grand plan. The dawn of the nineteenth century saw the dire economic situation of New Holland pushing the colonials to look outside Botany Bay for food and trade. The hunting of seals brought them closer to Van Diemen’s Land where the first fishermen established a station in 1800. Convicts started pouring in, usually of the worst kind; repeat offenders who were unwanted in Botany Bay.
The Aboriginals realised that these were different kind of whites... The settlers, who were already classifying the Blacks as little higher than monkeys, would show no objection in accepting the sexual exploitation of women as a commodity, especially when there were very few female convicts in the settlement...
In 1810, the colony entered a period of economic downturn. The officers, in their efforts to cut expenses, let the convicts free to find their own food in the bush. That created a new lawless tribe that were free to do as they pleased. The bushrangers, as they were called, entered the aboriginal territory and took away everything they liked, food and woman, creating a discontent of whites around the aboriginal tribes. They created slave camps where they became the absolute ruler of any human with dark skin captured. The Aboriginals perceived the way the bushranger treated them as a direct attempt to destroy their society. They could not separate those individuals from the rest of the white population. This left a permanent stain in the memory of the natives and damaged any chance of harmony on the island.
.. However, in Van Diemen’s Land, there was an extra variable: There was a physical space limit at the island. The administration never considered limiting the number of convicts to an amount that the colony could actually support. The new shipments of convicts would arrive constantly regardless.
....and organise shooting parties were they had permission to kill on sight any native that would dare to come close to the White farms. ..
..By the middle of the 19th century there would be almost no Aboriginal left in Van Diemen's Land. Aboriginals were killed slowly on a daily basis by vigilante groups of settlers.
..Britain did nothing to prevent this catastrophe.
