Tasmania's Black War

The Black War in Tasmania (1820s-1830s) was a violent conflict between Indigenous Tasmanians and European settlers. As settlers expanded their settlements, tensions grew over land, resources, and cultural clashes. This led to violent confrontations, massacres, and forced removal of Aboriginal people, severely threatening their population and way of life. The conflict is considered a tragic and dark chapter in Australia's history, reflecting the destructive impact of colonization on Indigenous communities.
