The colonisation of Australia.

Discrimination against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia.

The White Australia policy.

The colonisation of New Zealand.

Discrimination against Maori.

The colonisation of Zimbabwe.

The colonisation of South Africa.

The establishment of the Apartheid system.
