Until the 18th century, Australian aborigines lived under a primitive
community system. The first Europeans to enter the mainland were the Dutch
sea travelers V. Jans-zon (1606) and A. Ya. Those who came from Tasman
(1642). To explore the new continent, England sent several expeditions,
including an expedition led by J. Cook (1770). In 1788, A.
was declared a
British territory. From the 1920s onwards, A. developed sheep breeding, and
in the 1930s the first industrial enterprises appeared. Due to the Golden Age
(1851–61) in the second half of the 19th century, the number of immigrants
increased significantly. The British government was forced to grant self-
government to most of them in 1855 under pressure from the widespread
popular movement that had begun in the colonies of A.D. (the Eureka
Uprising of 1854 and other uprisings of the gold diggers). In 1901, the
colonies in A. were united into a federation of 6 states - the Commonwealth
of Australia, which gained dominion status. In 1906, it was annexed by the
British colony of Pa-pua (southeastern New Guinea), and after World War I
(in which A.'s troops fought as part of the British army) the former German
colony of New Guinea (New Guinea). the northeastern part of the island) and
the island of Nauru (as a territory under the mandate of the United Nations).
During
World War II, A. acted on the side of the anti-Hitler coalition.
Australia has been a member of the United Nations since 1945. After the war,
A. became an independent state, remaining part of the British-led
Commonwealth. After the war, a coalition of bourgeois parties, the Liberal
and the Agrarian (since 1975, the National Agrarian), was almost always in
power. It was not until 1949, 1972-75, and 1983 that the government was
formed by Labor. The party has taken a number
of steps to pursue an
independent path in foreign and domestic policy. The A. government was
forced to grant independence to Nauru (1968) and Papua New Guinea (1975).
In 1991, diplomatic relations were established between A. and the Republic
of Uzbekistan. National holiday - A. Day (January 26).
Australian literature is in English (aborigines do not have their own script).
In the first half of the 19th century, the metropolis developed under the
influence of literature. National realist literature emerged in an environment
of socio-political upheaval in the 1990s. It was founded by T. Collins, H.
Lawson, and others. The events of the First World War contributed to the
further development of A. literature. In the works
of this period, oppression
was exposed, the tragedy of the aborigines was reflected (K. S. Prichard, H.
H. Richardson, E. V. Palmer, K. Tennant, B. Penton, and others). In the
prose of A.
Marshall, J. Morrison, in the poetry of B. Adamson, M. Gilmor,
the shortcomings of society were criticized, and the ideas of national
independence were glorified. Racial discrimination is an important topic for
writers. These include FB Vickers's "Sarob" (1955), D. Kyuzek's "Sun in
Persecution" (1955) and "Black Lightning" (1964), G. Casey's "Snowball"
(1958), D. Stewart's "Yen-di" (1959). , M. Durek's "Save Him, My
Motherland" (1955) and others. In dramaturgy,
contemporary problems are
addressed: A. Turner, S. Locke-Elliot, K. Duncan, D. Kyuzek, O. Gray, R.
Louler, M. Brand plays.
