Cabrillo hoped to find a wealthy city know as Cibola, and somewhere in the Pacific coast, and a connecting route to the Northwest Passage. The expedition sailed out of the port of Navidad, on June 1542 and brought with him a crew of sailors, soldiers, and Indians in three ships. By the end of the month Cabrillo passed Baja Point and entered uncharted waters, where no Spanish ships gone before.

Disputes for control of Oregon between American settlers and the Hudson Bay Company were finally resolved in the 1846 Oregon Treaty, in which Great Britain gave up claims to the region.

We reached the Snake River on October 10. Six days later, we arrived at the Columbia River and stopped to rest and meet Indians who had gathered along the shore; in one village I had estimated there were 10,000 pounds of dried salmon. We then headed down the Columbia. Upon reaching a wide body of water, I waxed momentous. We had reached the Pacific Ocean.
This text comprises 22 pages from Matthew Flinders journal which details an expedition he conducted along the New South Wales Coast during March 1796 on board the H.M.S Reliance. Of particular interest is the description of his encounter with an Indigenous population native to the Broken and Botany Bay regions. Throughout the journal Flinders refers to the Indigenous Australians as ‘Natives’ and often expresses anxiety when he and his men are in the company of multiple Indigenous Australians. He at times though, refers to them as friends and details that the two groups traded fish, water and potatoes as well as Flinders clipping the beards of the Indigenous Australians. He claims that the British can understand some of their words as they speak
Urban Growth and Decline Step 1: Aim: To investigate the changing nature of Sydney harbor through analyzing the geographical issues affecting the environment. Step 2 questions: 1. How Has the Place and Area Changed Over time? The earliest European painting of Sydney cove in 1788 by the Port Jackson Painter shows a beautiful, thick bush and rock landscape that continued right down to the water’s edge. With the arrival of the First Fleet in January 1788 the entire land was changed as the convicts and marines chopped down trees and built huts, houses and government buildings around the harbor.
In 1770, Captain James Cook and his crew found unclaimed land located in the Southern Hemisphere and called it ‘terra nullius’. 18 years later, Captain Arthur Phillip arrived on the east coast of this land, at Botany Bay on the 26th of January. However, the land had been inhabited by Indigenous Australians for more than 40, 000 years. They were the first to have found the land which is Australia today. Despite their presence, the British still claimed the land as their own even though they knew that there were natives already living there.
This essay will give a critical account of British imperialism underlying Lord Normanby’s instructions to Hobson in August of 1839. This letter gives an articulate account of British imperialist ideology applied one of Britain’s latter colonies, New Zealand. Historical Background The first Europeans to reach New Zealand was in 1642 by the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman. However, Europeans did not return until James Cook’s voyage during 1768-71.

Coal was first discovered in Australia in 1791 by an escaped convict near Newcastle. This discovery was followed in 1793 by a report of coal at South Cape, Tasmania: 32 years later, in 1825, black coal was discovered near Wonthaggi, Victoria and in 1824 outcrops were found in the Ipswich district of Queensland. Discoveries at Irwin River, Western Australia and Leigh Creek, South Australia were made in 1846 and 1888, respectively. 3. Explain how it works Coal is a chemically complex fuel.
He arrived to Tahiti on the 11th of April 1769, seven weeks earlier than planned. Apart from that he was also given the privilege to seek out the fabled southern continent and claim it for England. This was the beginning of his expedition to the South Seas, in which he later found and set foot on most islands,
