## History

### Terra Australis (1663-1692)

On the 29th April 1663, the British Empire stepped foot on *Terra Australis (Southern Land)* for the first time in history. The Brits were not met with open arms however. The Indigenous Australians (Aboriginals) fought back but were not strong enough for the Brits who set up colonies for convicts to start a new life in the unknown Southern Land.

### British Invasion (1692-1693)

On the 6th November 1692, the Brits invaded more and more of Terra Australis and fought against the Aboriginals. The invasion ended in June 1693, with the Brits winning all of Terra Australis and setting up colonies.

### Independence Movement (1700-1702)

In 1700, majority of the convicts and residents that were brought over from Britain wanted Terra Australis to themselves. This started the Independence Movement which went on for 2 years, before the protests began.

### Independence Protests (1702)

On the 2nd March 1702, the Independence Protests began in *Sydney* which is now the capital city of province *New Wales*, today. These protests then led to the Australian Civil War.

### Australian Civil War (1702-1704)

The supporters of independence *(as well as the remaining Aboriginal population)* went to war with the power-hungry Brits in the Australian Civil War, lasting 2 years. The independence supporters *(a.k.a. the Independents)* continued to fight the Brits and would use anything they could find to fight. The Aboriginals used traditional hunting weapons to take out thousands of Brits. After 2 long years, the Brits surrendered to the Independents and would give them the land of Terra Australis.

### Republic of Australia (1704-1812)

On the 19th December 1704, the civil war ended. After the Australian Civil War, Terra Australis became an independent nation known as the Republic of Australia. The first President of the Republic of Australia and the 'founding father' of independent Australia was Philip Macarthur, who is related to the current Royal Family which is the House of Macarthur.

### Kingdom of Australia (1812-1901)

On the 6th April 1812, President Quenton Macarthur declared that Australia would become a constitutional monarchy. A constitution that had been in the works for many months was approved by the President and the Kingdom of Australia was born on the 9th April 1812. The President officially became His Majesty King Quenton I.

### Invasion of New Zealand (1876)

At around the 2nd January 1876, the Kingdom of Australia sailed to the unknown land of Staten Land. They were met with the Māori people but were too strong for these native New Zealanders. Staten Land was renamed to New Zealand and became a province of the Kingdom of Australia, and still is to this day.

### Invasion of Indonesia and Timor Leste (1899-1901)

In mid-1899, the Kingdom of Australia sent troops to the many islands that were north of the Australian mainland. They fought the natives living in this area and eventually took over the thousands of islands. Indonesia became a province of the Kingdom of Australia, and still is to this day.

Afghanistan was backed by many countries, while the U.S. was also backed by many countries including the Greater Australian Empire.

#### Moscow Bombings (2004-2006)

Following the unsupported invasion of Ukraine, the Australians bombed Moscow several times.

#### Moscow Nuke (2008)

Following the Moscow Nuke, Russia surrendered to the Allied Forces. All of Russia was given to the Greater Australian Empire for the time-being. It became an overseas territory of the empire.
