Australia and Canada

The effects of British imperialism in Canada and Australia are similar, but I think that the Australian people had it way worse. In Australia they have a National Sorry Day because of what happened many years ago. It is what we call the "stolen generations". Thousands of children were stolen from their parents. The children who had Caucasian ancestors were the ones who were targeted the most. This was because they were considered to be more intelligent than those who were completely aboriginal. These children were taken to residential schools and were assimilated. The British culture was forced upon them. The native people were often forced to marry the white men so that they could breed away the native people. Similar things happened in Canada too. Children from certain groups of aboriginals were taken from their families and put up for adoption. Then they were sent to residential schools. This was all done because of what the British wanted. These people were no threat to them, so they took advantage of them and forced them to adopt their ideas and ways of life. This devastated the native people. Their rights were taken away from them. This happened in lesser countries all over the world. If it weren't for eurocentrism, none of this would have happened the way it did.
