British immigrant criminals

Australia is the only country in the world that covers the whole continent, and its geographical advantage is enough to make most countries in the world fall behind. Although the advantages are obvious, when the British came to Australia in 1788, they did not develop it immediately, but regarded Australia as a place to exile prisoners. The British feel that this independent continent, surrounded by the sea, can just be used to hold criminals, so a large number of British criminals were brought to Australia. These prisoners became the first British immigrants in Australia. Born in Britain, Australia has always had complicated feelings for Britain. During World War I and World War II, Australia sent troops to serve Britain. Even today, Australia still regards the King of England as the head of its own country. However, before the19th century, the British simply looked down on Australia. In the eyes of the British at that time, Australia was a must for criminals, and upper-class people would never set foot there. It was not until after the industrial revolution that Britain took a fancy to Australia's mineral resources that it began to develop Australia and immigrated on a large scale. Since then, Australia has developed rapidly and has begun to take shape in the early 20th century. Today, it has become the world's 12 largest economy, the fourth largest exporter of agricultural products and the largest exporter of various minerals. Abundant resources and products have promoted the development of Australia and enabled 25 million Australians to live a rich and comfortable life. Therefore, as early as the beginning of independence, Australians understood the benefits of vast territory and abundant resources. 193 1 When Australia became independent, the territory only included mainland Australia and Tasmania. However, after independence, Australia actively explored two overseas territories, namely Christmas Island and Corcos Islands. These two lands are located in the northwest of the Indian Ocean and once belonged to British Singapore. However, on the eve of Singapore's independence, Australia lobbied Britain to transfer these two pieces of land to itself. After the British agreed, Australia only paid a token fee of 2.9 million pounds to Singapore. Since then, Australia has two overseas territories with a fixed territory area of 7,692,024 square kilometers. However, Australia is not satisfied, and its eyes have been fixed on another continent in the south. This continent is the South Pole. After Australia's independence, it claimed 5.89 million square kilometers of Antarctic, ranging from 45 degrees east longitude to 0/60 degrees east longitude, accounting for 42% of the entire Antarctic land. This vast land was declared by Britain in the early 20th century. Because the land is located in the south of Australia, Australia feels that this land should be inherited by itself after independence. So after repeated requests, Britain finally agreed to transfer it to Australia. 1933, King George V of England signed a secret order to formally transfer this land to Australia. Australia immediately promulgated the Antarctic Territory Acceptance Act, which confirmed the ownership of this Antarctic land through legal forms. In this law, the word territory is impressive. The purpose of Australia's move is to turn this vast land of Antarctica into its own legal territory in this way. Since then, in Australia's eyes, its legal territory has reached130,000 square kilometers. However, the international community does not recognize Australia's claim. In today's world, only Britain, New Zealand and other countries that want to carve up the Antarctic have recognized each other's territorial claims to the Antarctic. Therefore, the territory of Australia recognized by the international community is still 7692024 square kilometers.
