Howard Zinn tries to describe the history without changing the facts. He tries to tell the truth, preferring to talk about the discovery of America from the viewpoint of the Arawaks. The North American colonies of England followed the example of Columbus's early in his actions in the Bahamas. Already in 1585, even before any permanent settlements were the Englishmen in Virginia, Richard Grenville arrived on the American continent with seven ships. Indians hospitably welcomed newcomers, but as soon as one of the natives stole a small silver cup, Grenville sacked and burned the entire
Although the Indian removal is generally associated with the 1830 act of congress, the process was already being put in effect as early as the 1700s. There was pressure of the whites settlers that led to a small party of Choctaws, Chickasaws and Cherokees to move west of the Mississippi by 1807. Jefferson led the native people to believe that if they were to stay on the land they should adapt to the whites beliefs and religious mindset. The Natives where desperate and in an effort to keep their land they were willing to try anything, so they learned the English language started dressing like them and started to get educated. Assimilation was never the plan though Jefferson ultimately wanted the move the natives off their land and continue the expansion.
The Portuguese were determined to control the East-West trade; so Malacca still retained its importance as a trade center until 1641 when the Portuguese surrendered Malacca to the Dutch. The Dutch who had a stronger foothold over the Indonesia archipelago swung the trade center over to Sumatra. In the meantime, Malacca's trade also declined due to the silting of its port. In 1795 Melaka (Malacca) was given to the British to prevent it form falling to the hands of the French, where the Netherlands was captured during the French Revolution. By the time British took over in 1824, the focus of the trade has shifted from Malacca to Singapore and Penang.
With the French defeat in the French and Indian War (1754–63), Indians west of the Appalachians found their survival threatened because they could no longer play off the French against the English. Aware that the presence of only one European power in their vicinity meant that the old trade system had broken down, in 1763 the Ottawa Chief Pontiac rallied many groups formerly allied with the French in an effort to oust the English from the Ohio Valley. Pontiac's Rebellion (1763–66), although relatively successful in cementing a pan‐Indian alliance, ultimately failed. The English government tried to achieve peace in 1763 by a royal proclamation separating Indians and English settlers at the crest of the Appalachian Mountains. While the proclamation's promise that all land west of he Appalachians would be reserved for the Indians weakened Pontiac's alliance, it did nothing to lessen Euro‐American pressures on Indian land, as American traders, squatters, and speculators flowed unchecked into the Ohio

Originally Marines protected the early settlements at Sydney Cove and Norfolk Island, however they were dismissed of these duties in 1790 by a unit specifically recruited for colonial service, known as the New South Wales Corps. The New South Wales Corps was involved in putting down a rebellion of Irish convicts at Castle Hill in 1804. In the 1890’s Australians feared the growth of German power on the pacific, including the colonisation of North East New Guinea. The other imperial power Australia feared was Russia and therefore a national navy was considered to be advantageous. During the early years of settlement the naval defence of Australia was provided by detached Royal Navy units of the East Indies Station, based in Sydney.
When the French and Indian War ended the British felt they had the right to settle former French land even though Indians inhabited most of it. An Indian chief by the name Pontiac united Indian nations to fight off the English, but he was defeated due to
