The colonization of Australia had a devastating impact on the Indigenous people who had lived on this land for over 60,000 years. The differences between the British settlers and the Indigenous people were enormous (lifestyle, language, clothing, economics, and diet) which made it difficult for both groups to understand each other. The English, who had invaded a traditional lifestyle, showed little willingness to understand the Indigenous peoples. They did not understand the complexity of the Indigenous lifestyle, because it was so different from their own lives. The British people's negative attitude towards Australia's Indigenous population continued after they settled. The Indigenous people continued trying to fight for their land. This resulted in the British taking many of them prisoner. The differences in attitude and beliefs and the conflicts between the two groups continued for much of the two centuries following the arrival of the First Fleet.

Aboriginal peoples lived in Australia for thousands of years before Europeans arrived. They suffered greatly as a result of the arrival of the British in Australia. When Captain Cook visited in the late 1700s it is estimated that there were about 750,000 Aborigines. By the 1920s this number had fallen by around 90%. There were violent clashes between the Aborigines and the settlers in the early years. However, most deaths were caused by diseases that Europeans brought to Australia and the gradual takeover of Aboriginal lands for farms and settlements. British farming methods, like the use of wire fences, disrupted the traditional Australian way of life and led to further violence between British settlers and Aborigines. The introduction of sheep and rabbits devastated their environment, their food sources, and hunting grounds. Settlers often killed Aborigines who trespassed onto 'their' land. Many Aborigines moved to the towns to try and make a living. Here they suffered discrimination and disease, with alcoholism being a particular problem. British governors and officials in Australia were generally less harsh towards the Aborigines than the settlers of British descent. After the British handed over direct rule to Australia in 1901, the treatment of Aboriginal peoples did not improve.
