Sounds like a lot of bullshit in this thread. Cook was actually a pretty decent guy. The reason he got killed was that he tried to take the Hawaiian king after one of this landing boats were taken. Other than that he was pretty good. These guys were products of the Enlightenment, all full of do-good ideas for the betterment of man etc etc. Their societies were barbaric but the individuals tried, usually unsuccessfully, to rise above it. Just look at Governor Phillip after the arrival of the First Fleet, he even let himself get speared in the shoulder without retaliation after they had abducted an aboriginal man to act as a go-between (that guy was Bennelong). As I said the societies these men came from were barbaric, you only have to see how the convicts were treated ... the country was full of people who either were brutalised by the whip or held the whip. Explains why as a society we now detest authority and injustice.

1. Welcome to the derived from Latin show! Spanish? Derived from Latin! Australia? You guessed it! Latin! 1,5. So the Spanish for some reason called the landmass (that they never visited) that was nowhere near Austria "South Austria"? No thank you my good sir, I will not believe that. 2. So as the amount of languages someone speaks seems to be an argument to you somehow, I know/speak 7 languages (English, Dutch, German, Latin, Ancient Greek, French and Japanese (that's in order of how well I know them (kind of; Greek and Latin require a different kind of knowledge))) (Not that it actually matters to me but it seemed like it did matter to you) 3. Tasmania was named after Abel Tasman, that seems pretty logical to me. (Note: Abel Tasman is a Dutchman and not somehow a Spanish word(even if you somehow make up something so you can say it is: See point 1) Thank you.

@Sphagetti__

Note: I don't really have enough time to research so I'll keep it a bit more neutral in the sections where I'm not totally sure. 1. One thing: I never said Cook named it, not that I actually have a source to say he didn't, but just a point 1.5 you literally said "Southern-Austrian Land of the Holy Spirit". If that was a typo, okay, no problem then. 2. I'm not actually Australian, I just love Koalas and Australia as a whole. I'm actually Dutch. I know I put English in front, that's because I probably speak English better as I learned it from KZread (the feeling part) and school (proper grammar and vocabulary) while I was brought up with Dutch and copied the mistakes my parents make. As for Ancient Greek and Latin, I'm currently learning them at school, I don't know if you also did/do, but just a bit of a note. (If you're curious: in the Netherlands you have to learn French and German in the first 3 years of secondary school and I go to a TTO Gymnasium (TTO is a Dutch abbreviation of Double Language School) so I get Greek and Latin (the Gymnasium part) and everything else in either Dutch or English) I'm learning Japanese with some friend via the Internet. I don't know if you mean dialect with "local language" but if you do and I had to count them aswell, I would probably go into the double figures. 3. Again I don't have the time to research it, so I can only ask you why they didn't stay as in that era everyone was grabbing as much land as possible and it would give them a stronghold in Asia which would be nice. P.S.: You can find Roman things in Greece and visa versa, but that doesn't prove that one discovered the other (but then also the other way around? (Again that's why it can't be correct)) , only that they actually were there someday. P.P.S.: Please only use ignorant when someone actually is. I wasn't ignorant; you only said something is true and if I think that you're incorrect then that's that, only if you gave me actual sources and I disagreed with that would it be ignorant.

Dear ljf, I have 2 reasons why I disagree, note that I am an australian and speak english as my first and only language. 1. Wikipedia is open source, so I could got to that article and write "australia was first mentioned in 6969 on the 20th of the 4th by snoop dogg" 2. A sentence after the bit you mention it says that it is mentioning the name for another island.

My father fought in the Emu wars. I asked him about it many times but he refused to speak about it. I believe he was a secret agent for the Koalas and fought behind the Emu's frontlines. After he passed away I came across his war service record in his papers. Apparently he was captured at one stage and forced to eat hallucinogenic gum leaves to give up his contacts. He never completely recovered from the experience and would spend days sometimes sitting in a Gumtree chewing on the leaves.

Hung Aboriginals covered the landscape. 2/ The acquisition of repeater rifles in the 1860's facilitated the extinction of over 200 different Aboriginal races etc by pedo head hunting police in what was the most repugnant decapitation genocides in history. Australian police supplying the East India Company a diverse range of Aboriginal heads for sale to museums and private collectors around the world, the children suffering a far worse fate.

Aboriginal Australian history really is unique and intriguing. But you have to remember their history is mostly oral. They didn't have writing as we know it and we only know what we can dig up and what we hear in the oral history of each tribe. I mean compare non-Aboriginal Australian history to Aboriginal history. There is vastly more to know, research, interact with and look at in non-indigenous history than in Aboriginal history. Simply because of writing and record keeping. What makes that fact mind boggling is that there is vastly more history in post-European Australia then Pre-European Australia. Yet Europeans have only been in Australia since the 17th century but Aboriginal Australians have been here anywhere between 50,000 and 125,000 years! It really is a shame we haven't got any more records and sources to study. who knows what interesting things happened here in Aus in all those years that we may never know about.

2:32 COTTON EYE JOE Can't say that seriously, died on the inside.

Well done! One small point: 'Botany Bay' named during Cook's 1770 voyage, greatly impressed botanist Joseph Banks who was part of that expedition. He recommended it to the powers-that-be as a great place for a colony......problem was that when the First Fleet arrived several years later, they found little reliable water so they quickly moved a little north up the coast to Sydney Harbour (specifically Sydney Cove, present-day Circular Quay). Hence the location of today's central Sydney.

Great Video mate, loved the first part about the indigenous people. Had no idea about most of that. Just wanted to flag the whole part of history surrounding Van Diemans Land and the French exploration/sabre rattling that went on with the British. Apparently the British passed the french ships in some spots on their way down to claim the land. A history of Tasmania might be in order!

As an Australian it was so touching to see you pay respect to those who fought in the great Emu wars! Such a tragic event which many of us are still coming to terms with! :-) :-)

good work, man. very informative lol can you do a video on Austria if you haven't already?

Hiya Hilbert! Great job on this! I offer only one small point of correction: To my understanding, the rescue of the Irish convicts from the Freemantle prison was launched by Irish Exiles living in the US! They also had help from some Irish operatives who traveled directly to Australia without anyone's knowledge! If you can seek it out, there's a great documentary about that story produced by The US Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). The series was named "The American Experience," & the episode was called "Irish Escape." Cheers, & once again, great job!

I heard a story once. Someone I know claimed that one of his relatives who worked in the military was called to Harold Holt's house. He had been shot and was dead on the floor. This relative was then instructed to dispose of the body and keep it quiet. I have no way of verifying the story, nor do I wish to identify the source. Nor can I say that I 100% believe the story. But I did find it interesting.

@4:00 Arnhem languages? So does Australia actually amount to Zuid Gelderland? Making Dutch claim to the land more valid?

@jaguar_8344

4 жыл бұрын

No. The language had a true name at some point, but it intermingled with Another language when it was colonised. Arnhem Land literally means “land of the foreigners”. So yes, if you believe the Dutch, it does make sense, but honestly it could be any language, or any other nation that colonised it at that time. There are no linguistic markers for Dutch in any of the indigenous languages of the area.

No the Dutch made no claim to Australia, in fact they thought the land was unliveable. It was only when the British arrived that any real Colonisation took part.

Being from WA I'm happy you mentioned the Batavia, European West Australian history is often largely ignored because of the majority of the population on the east coast. But it's often ignored the Dutch had a big presence in Australia way before Botany Bay. If the Dutch settled I probably would be speaking Dutch now.

Well, statistically Australia is one of the best countries in the world for livability , America doesn't even have one city in the top 15 most livable cities.

5:40 There would be an explanation to that But Indonesian natives used to sail down the top of Australia and did sea cucumber trades with the Aboriginal natives The tribes around that area have Indonesian words in their language as well I learned that in my Indonesian class They would of had interracial relationships with the Indonesians who had contact with them 8:50 There’s a bit of misinformation there If you look into the archeological findings of earlier colonists and archeologists in the book Dark Emu by Bruce Pascoe, there is evidence that Aboriginal society had a farming/agricultural system that benefited not just them but the rejuvenation of the land and its other inhabitants (Flora and Fauna). It’s a good read, I do suggest looking into it. Nice video tho. Acknowledge the native life and that there was human society before colonialism through education is a great thing.

You can also look into the biology of Australian Flora, which has clear (internal and external) evidence of farming/agriculture; such as most Australian trees will only shed their seeds when a fire occurs as a result of controlled fires which the Aboriginal Australians used to do.

Great video! En hallo uit Nieuw Zeeland! One of the big reasons New Zealand rejected the Australian Federation was because, quite frankly, their laws surrounding native peoples were piss poor, and there were concerns that treatment of the Māori would suffer in a way that could come into conflict with the treaty of Waitangi. Apparently Australia had to pander by giving Māori suffrage, but it wasn't quite enough. Also, there were views that New Zealand was superior to Australia (we kept our Dutch name, so this clearly must have been the truth, right?). It seems even back then a trans-Tasman rivalry existed.

Lord Levarius Wright Aboriginals make up 25% of prison population yet account for 3%. Women are 50 times more likely to suffer DV in an Aboriginal community. Australia has been giving them welfare and health assistance for sixty years to no avail. They cost more than $40billion a year in tax, own mineral rights and 12.6% of land amongst just 750000 (A population that has doubled in twenty years as anyone can claim to be Indigenous to jump on the gravy train) they ARE the wealthiest land owners on the planet but suffer internalised corruption. Now victimhood politics is in full swing in the west, one eighth indigenous love to scream about their ancestors and their land forgetting about the 7/8ths Irish blood. These are the political ambitious or the self agrandising welfare pot smokers. Actual outback communities with more full blood are a real social issue. If you want an idea about aboriginal community violence just KZread it to get an idea. Some towns are dry (alcohol free) some are not. Alice Springs has a big grog problem (as well as other drugs). Meanwhile the spineless politicians pander to the narrative while the inner city SJWs who have never been to a troubled community cry in empathetic naval gazing. Using reductionist arguments about skin colour and racism. Ignorants. Anyone over the age of 45 knows our history better than the youth and their revisionist BS. Immigrants only see the tourist image of dream time and art where the reality is far from it. They then abuse whites as racist cause they have hang ups in their own countries history like African slavery in America or British colonialism in India, even Chinese. They seem to want to abuse whites while wanting to get in to get the good life we created. Australia is unique in being settled rather peacefully while It is currently being revised otherwise. This pisses people off as we've done so much good and it is not recognised.

Lord Levarius Wright Yeh I know. American jails are a private business. America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. I think it's different here as Aboriginals fell in love with alcohol from day one and didn't have the enzyme to break it down quick enough. They can become very aggressive. Australia has a much better welfare system which supports them to not work which suits their culture. But they get bored too. There parents get high and the kids rebel. Problem is free time and the grog. America is a dog eat dog world with guns to boot. Seems the lack of welfare and systemic poverty drives crime which suits the system of cheap prison labour. The history of America is very different. It is apples and oranges , but unfortunately many SJW just see colour and extrapolate the same conclusion. It's a shame as Australia was founded on Christian principles and we did try and help the indigenous and still do. Nothing is ever perfect but compared to America, Australia was like a new aged utopia with no wars or genocide. Not that it's portrayed that way now as everyone wants to be heard as part of the victim club..

When I was a teenager my girlfriend's family were a very extreme Apostolic missionary family who's spend many years in Port Hedland "looking after aborigines" and they had a little aborigine girl in the house who was somewhere between a slave and house pet. I was young and had much to learn but to this day the way they treated her haunts me. I realise now she was a victim of the Stolen Generation. Poor little Linda, I have often wondered how she went. I hope she escaped from that family of self righteous monsters. One of the last I guess since this was the late seventies. Many years later I have come to value my alliance with certain aborigine tribes above all those I have known. I understand the culture and judge from within not without. I've had some really remarkable experiences with the original people of this land and I have long since made peace and apologised for my family and role long before Rudd made his mark. I have a permanent invitation to go to the land of a very old tribe to survive when the bad days come. I trust my aborigine friends' legends and know of some secrets. Some too terrible to speak of. For example the massacres of blackfellas in Western Australia was much worse than acknowledged. The bones of the victims fill caves to this day. Some with men and others filled with the bones of women and children. I do not feel like a conqueror of this land but an interloper who lives here according to the acceptance of my friends whose land it is still.
