Abstract

This chapter covers expansionism in the American and Australian continents. Following independence from Britain, the Thirteen American colonies expanded both west and southwards gaining territory from France, Spain, and Mexico. A similar pattern appeared in Australia where penal colonies in the states of New South Wales and Tasmania and settler colonies in the states of Victoria and South Australia transformed into a large continental state.
