Australia

History in Brief Aboriginal settlers arrived on the continent from Southeast Asia about 40,000 years before the first Europeans began exploration in the 17th century.Six colonies were created in the late 18th and 19th centuries; they federated and became the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901.The new country took advantage of its natural resources to rapidly develop agricultural and manufacturing industries and to make a major contribution to the British effort in World War 1 and 2.In recent decades, Australia has transformed itself into an internationally competitive, advanced market economy.
