Describe how the English-speaking population first came to Australia. How did forced migration play a role in the colonization and settlement of Australia?

Answer:

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: English speakers first came to Australia when a British penal colony was established in 1788, with 11 ships carrying convicts arriving in Botany Bay. Prisoners and convicts were shipped to Australia, and many played a role in settling the continent. This is an example of the forced migration of a large population group.
