History of Oceania

Animated map showing the creation of different Australian colonies. In addition, New Zealand (not shown) belonged to New South Wales from 1788 to 1840.

Tui Empire (950 CE) It was a powerful empire in Oceania. It was centered in Tonga, on the island of Tongatapu, and with capital in Mu'a. In its most splendid moment, the empire extended from Niuē to Tikopia.
Australia (1770 CE-2017) For at least the last centuries, Calcutta (an Indian city) has commercialized with the aborigines of the north coast, particularly with the yolngu of the land of Arnhem.

The journalist Peter Trickett in the book "Beyond Capricorn" states that the Portuguese Cristovão de Mendonça arrived in Botany Bay in 1522. By the beginning of the 17th century, the western and northern coasts of what had been called "New Holland" had been mapped And sailed entirely by the Dutch. In 1770 the Endeavor expedition under the command of British Royal Navy Lieutenant James Cook sailed and mapped the eastern coast of Australia, landing on the continent for the first time at Botany Bay on 29 April of that year. Cook then headed north and, before leaving, landed on Possession Island in the Torres Strait on 22 August 1770. There he formally claimed eastern Australia for the Kingdom of Great Britain and called it New Wales from the south. The United Kingdom claimed as its own the western part of Australia in 1829. On January 1, 1901 the six British colonies formed a federation called the Commonwealth of Australia, initially Fiji and New Zealand participated in this process, but then chose to separate. Australia remains, however, a constitutional monarchy with Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom as its Queen. In 1999, voters rejected a move to turn the nation into a republic with a majority of 55% of the vote.
