Aboriginal settlers arrived on the continent from Southeast Asia about 40,000 years before the first Europeans began exploration in the 17^th century.

They federated and become the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. The new country took advantage of its natural resources to rapidly develop its agricultural and manufacturing industries and to make a major contribution to the British effort in World Wars 1 and 2. In recent decades, Australia has transformed itself into an internationally competitive, advanced market economy.

A referendum to change Australia's status, from a commonwealth headed by the British monarch to a republic, was defeated in 1999.
