Where did European colonization of Australia and Oceania begin?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The European colonization of Australia began in the late 18th century when the British established a penal colony in New South Wales. Oceania, on the other hand, refers to a vast region that encompasses Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, and more. While European explorers and traders had interacted with various Pacific island groups before the 18th century, none of these interactions can be considered colonization in the same sense as the establishment of British settlements in Australia. Therefore, choice B is the best answer.
