Colonization of Australia, USA, Rwanda, and South Africa

In the history of Australia, the United States, Rwanda, and South Africa, each colony wanted to have the most power and own the most land.

A main similarity these four countries shared was gaining power by overtaking the natives to that region. Taking over the natives and colonizing for themselves meant cheap labor, gold & other natural resources, and of course land. Take South Africa for example. The British defeated the native Zulus which won them land and reigned in their power. In America and South Africa they used the natives and slaves for cheap labor and in Australia they used convicts. Overall, when they took over the natives they had all acess to land and were the supreme power in the area.
