Sample question
Which idea best explains why Britain took possession of eastern Australia without negotiating treaties?
  • Self-determination for First Nations peoples
  • Crown sovereignty over land treated as unowned in European legal terms
  • Egalitarian sharing of land between all residents
  • Recognition of native title under British law
Show the worked answer

Answer: B

Britain assumed it could claim sovereignty because First Nations land use did not match European ideas of ownership. Native title was not recognised until 1992, and self-determination was not a colonial goal.
