I want to share with you the remarkable story of the beginning of Australia’s history as a western nation; the birth of Australia. Australia Day, the 26th of January is when just over a 1000 British sailors, convicts, and marines arrived in Sydney Cove, Port Jackson, now the site of the city of Sydney. Thus began the remarkably successful process of creating a transplanted Western country in the South Seas. This is history worth knowing, history worth remembering and passing on to your children.

You misspelled New Holland.
Absolutely brilliant video. You really have a skill for telling compelling stories and communicating the significance and impact of the events and characters. Super cool 🍻
A great video! I’ve been reading about Australian history of late and the biggest reward has been developing a deeper understanding of our history, good and bad. History is history…
I want to thank the traditional founders of this land , her majesty’s loyal servants …
Thank you for making this video. Very informative.
I would love a Part 2 and 3 of this expanding further.
So far this video is performing quite well by the standards of my channel so I will certainly consider it.
@@thecolonelpridereview I know it will create a great deal of extra work. Buuut, if you can include as many of your references in your description, that would help :) I know you have some there. Not sure if there is more there you haven't included.
So concerned with elites re-writing history to suit their current idealogical (mostly illogical) narrative of gaining more power through deceptive means or just outright lies :(
Interesting.
Very interesting video mate, the settler period is quite under discussed these days. I need to read more about it.
Well done. And good to see when so much history is being rewritten. I’m 67, born in London, early schooling at Armadale State school in Melbourne. We all knew this history well.
Interesting thing: in 1775, American saw themselves as Englishmen as did Australians. Even after both countries became independent (1900 effectively for Oz) that self view continued.
I don’t suppose it has value now - perhaps - but it certainly did then.
[BTW, your video came up on my feed due to YT algorithm even though I’ve never looked at Australian history before on YT]
I'm sure at this point more Australians consider themselves Indian or Chinese nationals than Englishmen.
@@Cha4k Interesting 🤨: I haven’t been back for 25 years but from a UK perspective, most British of Indian ancestry consider themselves Indian with a concurrent identity as advanced British. What does that mean? It means everyone’s vanity selects their definition in the most flattering light.
In this example, the self view seems a mixture of noble ancient lineage with a mastery of sneaky yet sophisticated English manners.
How do you see yourself?
I'd say up until the 60s most Australian's saw being British as part of their Australian identity.
Good stuff.
Great video, thank you!
Great topic thankyou! I think it was Banks that exaggerated the living conditions of botany bay to the admiralty as Cook was at sea or dead during the planning phase.
Great video!
You are straight with your audience about the narrow slice of history you are celebrating. And as a family history researcher, I can appreciate the need to do that. But I do not get a sense that the history you have chosen to focus on has been placed in a broader context.
For example, the "western colonisers" you refer to arrived less than 250 years ago (with some of my own ancestors). They landed amongst an unacknowledged peoples that had been in this land for 40-60 THOUSAND years!
Worth a mention. Plus, the success you are so proud of came at a huge cost to that first nation population. Worth at least acknowledging the price others had to pay for our success, imo.
There is some very interesting works being published by some pretty smart and well-educated first nation people about the history of the first nation peoples since 1788. I did not see any of that writing mentioned in your credits? Worth a look. Hard to celebrate successes in ignorance of all the fact, yeah?
It's easy to make those statements in our modern world. To the British, they just saw land that wasn't being "used", just natives who could equally live their primitive lives anywhere. Indeed, Sydney was terrible for the British initially, due to ignorance. The soil was terrible and most of their crops died/ It was only when they established Parramatta where they found good soil that crops would grow. They didn't have malice towards the blacks, indeed they were forbidden from mistreating them. They thought of them as backwards novelties. It was later free settlers that wanted land that resulted in troubles, and of course the powers that be backed them. It was an unfortunate situation, but in that time, it was inevitable that someone would come,
@@aldunlop4622your statements are incorrect. There are many scholarly researchers who have collated evidence that the colonial government was carrying out attacks on the native population. You can look them up. One academic who comes to mind is Dr Marcia Langdon. She was involved with a wonderful series which detailed some of these and references the Colonial Secretary's evidence. An example, the Governor sending a force to collect sixty, indiscriminate heads from random natives in retaliation for a spearing of one servant.
Funny, our ancestors struggled and toiled to build this, now everyone in the world has a right to being 'Australian', a right to our identity, should they get the right paperwork stamped. It's almost like all that effort of the forebears was for nothing, their culture is no more important than anyone else, their descendants have no right to an inheritance, it's almost like it's not a country at all, the place is just an economic zone where there is no sense of shared history or culture, just an economic zone the the benefit of those who profit from cramming more and more people in. And the little people jostle for the resources which are increasingly more scarce.
It's been exactly the same since the 1970's, the only difference is which geographical regions on earth they're coming from
Nice cherry picking of history to suit your narrative while being activly hostile to other viewpoints. Very professional historian of you.
Its terrible when historians report anything whatsoever that is positive about British settlement isn't it? We are only allowed to present the black armband view of Australia's history and nothing but the black armband view.
@@alvanrigby6361no it's only bad when they ignore the negatives
The Natives Call January 26th Invasion Day 43:28
Every country in the world has been invaded to some extent. Australia is being "invaded by Chinese right now.
Before I watch this …….. is it woke ??
If it was woke I would have called the video "How British Settlers Ruined Utopia"
@@thecolonelpridereviewwoke doesn't exist, grow up
Don't know why I bother replying, RUclips has decided to bar my comments for reasons known only to them. I think because I don't like Israel very much.
Only woke I know is after sleeping.@@joshuataylor3550
Stuff RUclips.Why do you bar all of my comments? Because I didn't buy your pro is rail propaganda.
@@thecolonelpridereview You should have asked him to define 'woke', because I guarantee that without consultation your definition of the word will be different to his
Theres more to the French ships disappearance and the rediscovery of Australia, and thats mostly lost with the stolen generation, whos ancestors had accepted and lived with "Europeans" for sometime. There is even possible evidence to say those "Europeans" had rediscovered this land. However, the British were and have never been wanted here, nor certain technology, though i am unaware if the two are related. The French ships had come from Canada where they had tried to destroy evidence of previous civilizations in the form of a Starfort, aka Bastion Fort. I recommend a google search of Starforts to see the beauty and how many there are world wide. Real history requires questioning, reading between the lines and knowing the word play used. If more people knew about real history, the control structure of today wouldn't be possible. That said, nor would it be possible if we didnt have digital technology, so was that the technology the Aboriginals walked away from long ago? Oop Arts (Out of place artifacts) are evidence of previous advanced civilizations, and Nikola Tesla an example of reverse engineering.
What a load of claptrap. Sorry you have absoslutely no idea
