what factors motivated the europeans to explore and settle in the caribbean up until the 17 century
The Australian aboriginal people were the first to settle in Australia. Humans originated in Africa and from there migrated to other areas, which was a slow process. South America, the Pacific Islands and Australia were settled quite recently.
The indigenous people of Australia, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, were the first to inhabit Australia. Whilst it is unknown when they first arrived, estimates vary between 6,000 and 40,000 years.
John Batman is regarded as the founder of Melbourne, and therefore the first European to settle there.
Europeans originally discovered Australia quite by accident, however when they did discover it they quickly grasped at the idea of shipping off some of their convicts in their already overflowing cells to this country which would not need any fences, or guards.
