How did the Aborigines handle incoming British settlers?

In: Indigenous Australians [Edit categories]

Answer:

First, the Aborigines treated the Europeans in a friendly manner. In fact, most Europeans would not have survived without their help. Eventually, the Europeans introduced disease, racism, and land control, thus dooming the locals to a life some describe as "living hell." As one can imagine, it was then that the Aborigines retaliated and started becoming more aggressive.
