The Australian Indigenous 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 encroached on Indigenous lands, leading to violent confrontations. Notable conflicts include the Black War in Tasmania and the Gunditjmara Wars in Victoria, where Indigenous groups resisted colonization. These wars resulted in significant loss of life and land for Indigenous communities. The impact of these conflicts is still felt today, as they contributed to the ongoing struggles for land rights and recognition of Indigenous culture in Australia.
