English to Spanish: Australian history General field: Other Detailed field: History
Source text - English Australia's original inhabitants, known as Australian Aborigines, have the longest continuous cultural history in the world, with origins dating back to the last Ice Age. Although mystery and debate obscure many aspects of Australian prehistory, it is generally accepted that the first humans travelled across the sea from Indonesia about 70,000 years ago.
Europeans began to explore Australia in the 16th century: Portuguese navigators were followed by Dutch explorers and the enterprising English pirate William Dampier. Captain James Cook sailed the entire length of the eastern coast in 1770, stopping at Botany Bay on the way; soon after he claimed the continent for the British and named it New South Wales.
Free settlers began to be attracted to Australia over the next decades, but it was the discovery of gold in the 1850s that permanently changed the colony. The huge influx of migrants and several large gold finds boosted the economy and changed the colonial social structures. Aborigines were ruthlessly pushed off their tribal lands as new settlers took up land for farming or mining.
Translation - Spanish Los primeros habitantes de Australia, conocidos como los australianos aborígenes, poseen la más extensa historia cultural en el mundo, cuyos orígenes se remontan a la edad de hielo. Aunque el misterio y el debate de muchos aspectos afectan a la prehistoria Australiana, se acepta generalmente que los primeros humanos viajaron a través del mar desde Indonesia hace 70.000 años.
Los europeos iniciaron la exploración en Australia en el siglo dieciséis: Los navegantes portugueses fueron sucedidos por los exploradores holandeses y el ambicioso pirata inglés William Dampier. El capitán James Cook navegó por toda la costa este en 1770, deteniéndose en “Botany Bay” en el camino; que posteriormente lo declaro como el continente para los Británicos y le puso el nombre de New South Gales (Nueva Gales del Sur).
Los colonizadores comenzaron a sentirse atraídos hacia Australia durante las siguientes décadas, pero fue el descubrimiento del oro en los años 1850 que cambió permanentemente la colonia. El gran influjo de inmigrantes y la gran cantidad de descubrimientos de oro impulsaron la economía y cambió la estructura social colonial. Los aborígenes fueron desposeídos sin piedad de sus tierras tribales al mismo tiempo que los nuevos colonos ocuparon las tierras para el cultivo o la minería.
