New Zealand
In 1840, Maori chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi and Waitangi day is New Zealand's national holiday. New Zealand became part of the British Empire. Today, Maori and Europeans live together in one of the most peaceful countries in the world.
The fall
After the World War II the British empire started to collapse. After some time many countries asked for independence. Slowly, Britain lost control over almost all of its overseas (all'estero) territories.
Britain vs France
Britain defeated France and took most its territory in Canada. In some parts of the country, French is still the official language.
Australia
In 1788, when British Captain, Arthur Philip landed in Australia, an estimated 315.000 native Aboriginal people lived there. In the mid 1800s, more Europeans arrived in search of gold. Today, Australia has a multiracial population of about 25 milion people; about 2,5% is Aboriginal.
The end of an Empire
In 1947, India became indipendent and by 1963 al of British Africa was indipendent (apart from Rhodesia). Finally, Britain returned Hong Kong to China in 1997.
The loss of the colonies
In 1783 England lost its 13 American colonies after the War of Indipendence. This motivated England to explore other parts of the world: in particular, Asia and the Pacific.
Colonization
During the 19th century, people start to move west for land and gold, and they have colonised more and more territory. Today, there are 50 states and the USA is one of the richest, most powerful countries in the world.
African colonies
Though Britain established Cape Colony (today's South Africa) in 1806, most of Africa was free of colonies in 1850. In the second half of the 19th century, European powers competed to take land there.
