Before 1788
Political reasons why British couldn't send convicts to America anymore:
British couldn't send any more convicts to America because America was in a war and they were fighting as one nation and said to the british "We can't have your convicts anymore send them somewhere else". So the british needed to find a new place to send all the convicts and eventually allow free settlers to live in this new place. -
Before 1788
Social Reasons why the British came to Australia:
After the Industrial Revolution everyone moved to the cities to find jobs but then the cities became overcrowded. Since the cities became overcrowded it became dirty and polluted and from the pollution and dirtiness of the cities alot of people became sick and got diseases which led to death for some people. So the british needed to find a new place to send all the convicts and eventually allow free settlers to live in this new place. -
Before 1788
Economic reasons why the British came to Australia:
After the industrial revolutions alot of people lost their job which also led them to lose alot of money. Alot of people where stealing from shops because alot of people where poor and couldn't afford to actually pay for it which made most shop keepers poor because no one was actually buying food. All the crime led to more prisoners and the cell cages to be full. Alot of people died because they didnt have any food, any money or a job. -
