There were many deaths both sides during the formative years.
Iwould be both nieave and blind to think that the Australian Aboriginals would be left to their primitive stone age culture without invasion by some country eventually. They were, in fact, extreemly lucky it was the English, because had it been many other cultures, they would not have the easy treatment that they enjoy.
Could you see Japan, Indonesia, China or Germany being as generious with all the cash handouts that they currently emjoy?
As with any race or culture, only the strong survive. For the Aboriginals, they had thousands of years in which to build weapons that may have been capable of defending their land, they failed. They did not advance their culture and as a result were outclassed, out gunned and beaten. Their culture was not strong or advanced enough to survive.
Furthermore, they hve had over 200 years to assimilate. As can be seen and as has been demonstrated many, many times, you either assimilate, conquer or become extinct. The Aboriginal culture is extinct, they jusy dont know it yet.
