British settlement begins in Australia

On January 26, 1788, Captain Arthur Phillip guides a fleet of 11 British ships carrying convicts to the colony of New South Wales, effectively founding Australia. As Australia became a sovereign nation, this date became the national holiday known as Australia Day. Many Aboriginal Australians call it "Invasion Day."
