Hmm. . .

Question 2: When did Australia become a British colony? In the process of Asian, African and Latin American countries becoming colonies, the colonial problem in Australia left a suspense for students. In fact, Australia, including Australia and New Zealand, was captured by British Navy Colonel James in the18th century. Cook visited. Starting from 1769, he spent two years sailing around the coast of Australia that Europe has never been to since 100, surveying and drawing a map. 177 1 In June, he returned to England. His voyage earned him the title of "Pacific Columbus". Then Britain began to immigrate to Australia. After defeating the resistance of local aborigines, Australia became a part of the British Empire at the end of 18.

Question 3: Is Australia still a British colony? Australia used to be a British colony, but it is still one of the Commonwealth countries, and it is inextricably linked with Britain.

Australia's nominal head of state is the head of the Commonwealth, that is, the king (or queen) of England. He appoints the Governor-General of Australia as his representative.

The Governor is the representative of the Queen of England.

Question 4: Why is the former colony Australia now a developed country? The reason is the same as that in America.

The British brought advanced technology there. They don't need to develop from the ancient slave society and feudal society, but directly from the capitalist society.

Some colonies in Asia, such as Singapore and Hong Kong, are also very developed.

But the difference is that the United States and Australia can be said to be descendants of the British. Their aborigines are still aborigines, and it was the British who founded their country.

In Asia and Africa, the British didn't breed there, and their country is still building itself.

Question 5: Is Australia an independent country or a British colony? Australia is an independent country, not a British colony, but still within the Commonwealth system. Although it became independent as early as 193 1, Britain still sent a nominal governor to represent the queen, that is, the queen is still the head of state.

Question 6: Has Melbourne ever been colonized? Which country colonized? Melbourne is the capital of Victoria, Australia, the second largest city in Australia, the cultural and industrial center of Australia and the most famous cultural city in the southern hemisphere. Melbourne was once the capital of the Commonwealth of Australia, and the urban green space rate was as high as 40%. Greater Melbourne covers an area of 3,400 square miles (8,806 square kilometers) and is one of the larger metropolitan areas in the southern hemisphere. Melbourne has a very elegant urban environment. It has won the UN Habitat Award and been rated as "the most livable city in the world" by UN-Habitat for many years.

Before 1835, Melbourne was basically uninhabited. 1840 The population of Melbourne is 1 10,000. 185 1 year, gold mines were discovered in Melbourne, and a large number of people from all over the world (mainly Americans) came to Melbourne for gold, including a large number of China workers. Due to the gold rush, Melbourne's population grew rapidly and gradually became a wealthy big city. According to historical records, in 1836, the population of Melbourne was only 177, 185 1 year, and the population was 29,000, 1854, which has reached123,000, making San Francisco, USA. Li Gui, a Manchu diplomat in the late Qing Dynasty, mentioned two overseas Chinese cities outside China, namely "Two Golden Mountains" (San Francisco, USA and Melbourne, Australia), and said that it was necessary to "distinguish the old from the new". The title of "New Jinshan" has a history of at least one hundred years.

Melbourne, formerly known as "Belblas", was founded in 1835, 47 years after the European settlement of Vandamen. The earliest aborigines in this city lived in the present Yalu River and Phillip Island, and the aborigines lived in Mexico City for more than 40,000 years.

Melbourne used to have several names. In August 1842, Melbourne officially established its town. 1847 On June 25th, Queen Victoria of England issued a patent, announcing the establishment of Melbourne City, which later became the capital of the newly established Victoria. Melbourne is named in memory of British Prime Minister William? The second viscount lamb-Melbourne. Melbourne was the capital of Australia from 190 1 to 1927 when the Commonwealth of Australia was just established. 1927, the Australian capital moved to Canberra. 190 1 When the Commonwealth of Australia was founded, Melbourne was already the financial and cultural center of the whole country, and the residence of the Australian Federal Parliament was also in the Melbourne Parliament Building. However, the population of Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, has surpassed that of Melbourne at that time, and the development of industry and commerce is also higher than that of Melbourne. Both cities are fighting for the status of the federal capital, which makes the issue of establishing the capital come to an impasse. In order to balance the disputes between the two cities, Australia finally decided to set Canberra as its capital in 1908, which is equivalent to twin cities. It was not until 1927 that the Australian Parliament really moved from Melbourne to Canberra, ending Australia's 25-year battle for the capital.

Question 7: Is Australia a British colony or a country? Hehe ... it's a bit complicated ... Theoretically, the supreme ruler of Australia is the Queen of England, but the Prime Minister of Australia, like the British Prime Minister, is elected, not appointed by the Queen. Although it still belongs to Britain in name, it is not controlled by Britain. It should be said that it is a * * * country.
