The term "Australian Wars" generally refers to a series of conflicts that occurred in Australia during the 19th century, primarily between European settlers and Indigenous Australians. These conflicts arose as settlers expanded their territories, leading to violent confrontations over land, resources, and cultural differences. Notable conflicts include the Gunditjmara Wars and the Tasmanian Black War. These wars were part of a broader pattern of colonization and resistance, with Indigenous groups fighting to protect their lands and way of life. The impact of these conflicts is still felt today, influencing discussions about reconciliation and Indigenous rights in modern Australia.
