Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What impact did British settlement have on Aborigines?
Model answer
Loss of country, introduced disease and frontier killing reduced the Aboriginal population catastrophically in both colonies.
- 2
What was the doctrine of terra nullius?
Model answer
The legal fiction that Australia belonged to no one, which denied Aboriginal ownership and allowed settlement without treaty or purchase.
- 3
What was the demographic impact of settlement on Aboriginal people?
Model answer
Catastrophic: smallpox in 1789 killed perhaps half the Sydney population, and disease, dispossession and violence reduced numbers drastically.
- 4
How did land use cause conflict?
Model answer
Sheep and cattle destroyed the plants and displaced the animals Aboriginal people depended on, and fenced water sources cut them off from essential resources.
- 5
Who was Pemulwuy?
Model answer
The Bidjigal warrior who led resistance around Sydney from 1790 until he was killed in 1802, the best known figure of early Aboriginal resistance.
- 6
What was the frontier violence of this period?
Model answer
Reprisal killings on both sides, punitive expeditions by settlers and soldiers, and massacres that were rarely investigated or punished.
