The Australian Frontier Wars refer to a series of conflicts between European settlers and Indigenous Australians from the late 18th century to the early 20th century. These wars arose as settlers expanded into Indigenous lands, leading to violent confrontations over territory, resources, and cultural differences. The conflicts varied in scale and intensity, with some areas experiencing prolonged warfare while others saw sporadic skirmishes. The impact of the Frontier Wars was profound, resulting in significant loss of life and displacement of Indigenous communities. The wars contributed to the ongoing struggles for land rights and recognition of Indigenous sovereignty in Australia, shaping the nation's history and its relationship with Aboriginal Australians.
