The U.S., Canada and Australia were colonized by Great Britain with the usual goals of colonization; that is, to exploit resources, get rid of surplus population (including debtors and convicts) and to create new markets for British manufactures. Canada had previous settlements by the French and all three landmasses had previous settlements by indigenous peoples. Indigenous peoples were almost completely wiped out by disease and aggression as European settlements grew.
Origins U.S. Canada and Australia
The U.S. was first colonized by Britain in 1607 in Virginia and in 1620 in New England. Financial adventurers, religious dissidents, indentured servants and convicts soon swelled the population. Britain sent colonists, many of whom were convicts, to Australia starting in 1788 and began settlement in Canada in 1692. Canada and Australia won increasing autonomy from Great Britain (United Kingdom) by increments over many years. The U.S., however, revolted against British rule and set up an independent nation following a Revolutionary War (1785-1783.) Canada became independent of the U.K. by the Statute of Westminster of 1931 and severed the last ties with to the U.K. with the Canada Act of 1982. Australia followed a similar path of slowly-increasing autonomy culminating in the Australia Act of 1986.
