The Sydney Wars sheds new light on how British and Aboriginal forces developed military tactics and how the violence played out. Analysing the paramilitary roles of settlers and convicts and the militia defensive systems that were deployed, it shows that white settlers lived in fear, while Indigenous people fought back as their land and resources were taken away.Cultural and sensitivity noticeWe ask that, in addition to standard copyright and privacy considerations, users of these resources uphold the dignity of the people, communities and places depicted or described and support ongoing cultural rights.
