[QUOTE="Oerdin, post: 151003, member: 128"] The main reason Australia was colonized when it was was was because of the American revolution. Georgia started out as a penal colony specifically because the British wanted to prevent Spain claiming land to the north of Florida but no one wanted to live in coastal Georgia because the region is pretty much one big swamp filled with malaria. As they couldn’t find any colonists who would settle there willingly the British decided to fill it with people who couldn’t say no. Namely, prisoners. All of the America colonies took prisoners though as it was a cost effective way to increase population and labor supply. After the revolution prisoners started piling up in British jails thus why the government decide to finance expeditions to try to find some place new to send them all. Ultimately, they settled on Australia. [/QUOTE]
