It is 1786. The French are preparing for war. They want a slice of the Asian trade. They have sent Count de La Perouse with two ships into the Pacific with the aim of claiming New Holland (Australia) for France… what happens next will change the way you think about Australia’s history forever.
Historian Dr Christopher Reynolds completed his Ph.D. and Masters degrees at Claremont, one of America’s most prestigious graduate universities, and has held appointments with both the United States Senate and House of Representatives and worked under Senators Teddy Kennedy and Mitch McConnell. And received a Commendation from President Ronald Reagan. Last month he launched his new Book - What a Capital Idea - Australia 1770-1991, with former PM Tony Abbott, in Sydney and he’ll be speaking at an event in Brisbane on Tuesday night.

What is totally overlooked is the Portuguese discovery of Australia in about 1520.
Someone must have been reading my comments, at some stage. I always said it was the French sniffing around New Holland, that made the British act fast. Both Matthew Flinders, English and Nicolas Baudin, French, were mapping the coastline of Southern New Holland at the same time. There are still landmarks with French names, in South Australia.
What I learnt about my own convict ancestors' past is that in most instances, they stole something to be sent here. At the time, it was either that or perish. Half of my ancestors survived the great irish famine, and the other half were very poor. Back in those days, the men worked to earn money to feed his family, and if he got sick, the rest of the family had to do what they could to survive.
Britain was becoming subject to worst aspects of legalism following the American Revolution
Try finding the book A Merciless Place by Emma Chirstoper.
On the British sending convicts to the gold coast in Africa.
A total diaster 3/4 of the convicts died.
That's right. Learn more about Elizabeth Fry as she is really the mother of Australia as she gave so many convicts who were sent to Australia via ship, The hope and the skills needed to live a clean, plus productive lives in Australia..
She is so underrated in this aspect of Australian History had she not been so inspiring or so helpful and most of all selfless acts then perhaps many Australians today wouldn't exist..
So we have had it ALL wrong since 1788, ALL those 166,000 migrant "convicts" were actually living it up in the communal housing estates in Port Arthur, Maria Island, Sydney, Cockatoo Island, Fremantle, etc. Working for room and a tasty meal, while getting great leg workouts dragging ball and chain leg irons, and regular comforting back scratches with a cat-o-nine tails, enjoying peace and quiet in the no talking (EVER) solitary cells..I mean solitary "suites" 😂😂😂
Exactly , sounds like we were born at the wrong time !!!
😭😭😭
History always repeats eh

@paulfri1569 wow, what an incredible woman, selfless, giving and kind beyond measure, very inspirational, cheers.
Bizarre to claim this is some secret knowledge.
This was covered in my high school history.
It’s well known that settlements were established to keep the French out.
France get New Caledonia and seem satisfied with that 🤔
A great insight to something that allowed me to be born on the best island in this world.
East India Company..... what did they not influence in their days???
An awesome interview. Thank you.
As a whitewash of history, this is as competent as it gets. Mr Reynolds has painted a rosy picture of the people who showed their humanitarianism to the Irish and their own lower orders whose real life conditions Lord Shaftesbury and Charles Dickens would later describe. Reynolds's boyish enthusiasm and naivety are overpowering. The great shame for Australia is that La Perouse didn't get to do what he was commissioned to do. Compared to the rakes the British sent to manage the new colony, he was a thorough gentleman. The native Canadians adored him. That can't be said about any of the toffs sent to Oz other than David Collins who had a lot of the La Perouse decency in him. Reynolds has demonstrated that a "historian" can find exactly what he wants to find when it comes to sanitizing skulduggery. Dickens got it right. Lord Curzon showed the real British attitude to colonisation.

The reason why Australia wasn't settled sooner by the Dutch is because of the Seven Years War, which is this global conflict in the mid-18th Century that very few Australians would have ever heard of. Sadly. Australian civilisation tends to be one of those things where it's an amalgam of circumstances taking place thousands of kilometres away, and sometimes hundreds of years before the First Fleet. The earliest influences Australia could trace its civilisation to would be the 15th century Englander Puritans and their Yankee counterparts in the American North-East emerging about a hundred years later.
This being contrary to the very well propagandised narrative and low-resolution of the Left that everything in Australia comes from courtesy of White theft from Black whatever whatever whatever.

Portuguese sailors were always passing through , stopping way b4 both countries , wow that was awesome !! Convicts or not, they’re story + EVERYTHING else back then NEEDS 2 b told etc.. it’s a MASSIVE part of OZ’s history heritage etc..
Totally agree
Great Research Cheers.!
Yes, Australia could definitely have been Parlez vous Francais instead of speaking Aussie! Some of Tasmania is actually still named for early French Explorers! 🙋
Yes Matthew Flinders and French Explorer Nicholas Baudin met up at Victor Harbor, South Australia in 1802. They met and had conversations even though the English and French were at war. Victor Harbor is on the Fleurieu Peninsular (named after another French Explorer) and one area at Victor Harbor is called Encounter Bay named for that encounter. Street names include Matthew Flinders drive and Nichokas Baudin drive. Also French influence reflected on Kangaroo Island.
@@lyndabignell9660 Thank you, good to know! Matthew Flinders was extraordinary! 😀
manning clarks books on Australia were enlightening. Id like to read this professors work. Certainly the first convict ship into NSW had a passenger sorting sytem on arrival, all those with skills were given an appropriate job and could work off their sentence to become free men/ women and were then given land. Conditions were brutally different in tasmania
Absolutely fascinating
You should get Frank Walker on to discuss the Australian atomic tests
This is twice in 1 hour that you posted this. Nobody gives a hoot.
I think the honorable Doctor will admit or concede that there are a few other peoples whose historical research has opened our eyes to Australia's beginnings, including; the weighty tome written by Robert Hughes - The Fatal Shore, which details almost every conceivable machination factor and influence leading to colonization of Australia.
Does it detail what was spoken about in the video?
Fascinating
1770 Captain Cook sails to and discovers Australia, and 1776, Captain Philip sailed into Sydney Harbour and started the first settlement.
This was taught to me in primary school around grade 3 in about 1956.
Philip arrived in 1788 NOT 1776
Chinese were the first documented 'discoverers' in 1400s, first Europeans interaction was with Portugese in 1500s, then Dutch in 1600s! The Dutch stayed to explore and map and named it first! Then France! So England were later and their small colony almost starved to death!
Whilst completely ignoring the Portuguese discovery of the northwest of WA, the Spanish navigation of Torres Strait, the Dutch exploration of the south and west coast and Abel Tasman’s discovery of Van Dieman’s land
@@SenorTucano Please note that I didn't ignore those events! Yes the Portuguese were the first Europeans in Australia and were definitely in the North of WA! Luckily Tasmania is still named for Abel Tasman, and D'entrecastreax Channel and Huon River for the French explorers! I didn't know about the Spanish navigation! 👍
excellent work
I wouldn't mention "university" if I was you. They no longer have any trust or respect.
The idea of a French Australia has long fascinated our ruling class. That's why we're governed much much more along Francophone, or Continental lines. Australia is what you get when the Anglo-Celtics of the British Isles try their darndest to act French. That's why the Anglosphere has become increasingly Australianised.
The Australian Dream is now decimated for Hundreds of Thousands of Australians 😠
NSW wasn't settled on the basis of the doctrine of terra nullius. But, yes, it was a big factor for the settlement, to beat the French to possession of Australia. See for example, 'Beating France to Botany Bay' (2021, Quadrant Books, Balmain NSW, ISBN 978-0-6489961-2-5) by Margaret Cameron-Ash. She also wrote a book about Captain Cook being aware of France's interest in Australia, and hiding his findings from the French.
Thank you, I will check them out! I knew England was competing with the French to get here; fascinating! 👍
I don’t get it. How did settling Australia “ bring the French down” ? Is this guy for real ? International Court? In 1786?
My thoughts exactly. The French were brought down by the Seven Years War (1756-63), a British triumph on a global scale, that nearly bankrupted France, discredited the ruling class and precipitated the Revolution 30 years later. The French monarchy cut its own throat with its opportunist support for the American republican rebels against George lll.
Mathew Everingham was my Ancestor totally correct, Mathew came out under sentence for stealing a piece of paper from his boss and not returning a book to the library it was his Boss who bought him out on the First Fleet,he was a free man before he even arrived here.
This guy is making so much money from his revisionist history that he’s buying his jackets and rugby tops from his local charity shop. 😂
fascinating
Interesting
Check out the Domesday book...1086 ish
you can clearly see that this is tony abbots youtube channel, with the budgie smugglers and everything in plane site.. designed to fool ball earthers
☝️🔭🐥 and things such as that.. the human trafficking.. the orphan trains.. a complete covid upperring of the truth ☝️ God bless you brother dude bro your family and everyone else in NSW .. love you guys heaps .. im serious ☝️❤️🙏
Where is the cable restaurant in Sydney mentioned by Doctor Reynolds?
Wise 🦉
One of my convict ancestors (a woman) was sent Tasmania, for stealing a hanky, where upon marrying another convict, who was sent out for a petty crime.
Does this man know about Port Arthur, convicts were locked up in barbaric conditions.
I have been there, a terrible place. 🥲
So interesting as she's likely to have met my Ancestor Elizabeth Fry.. Learn more about Elizabeth Fry as she is really the mother of Australia as she gave so many convicts who were sent to Australia via ship, The hope and the skills needed to live a clean, plus productive lives in Australia..
She is so underrated in this aspect of Australian History had she not been so inspiring or so helpful and most of all selfless acts then perhaps many Australians today wouldn't exist..
Still doesn't tell our history as a white colonial people many white Australian people were used as white slaves,
domestic servants,
Forced labourers,
An worse the breeding farms of tasmania were 25 to 30 thousand
Scottish an Irish woman were abused,raped an used as human cattle to populate the early colony
There are memorials to it in tasmania today
My father's are from Scotland originally and the first member of his family sent to Australia was sent out as an orphan on a Portage ship an was sold at auction by Govenor maquirey to a rich family as a domestic servant,
Upon turning 18 he was granted his freedom went on to marry an have two children an be the first settler to settle ballarat
Ballart was originally named after my father's family and was called yuille's swamp,
Or my grandmother's family o'toole's came out from Ireland only to be sold into domestic/sexual slavery in the tasmanian highlands around bothwell
So don't go telling me or any white Australian we were all sent out as free settlers with rights
Just ask the ten pound poms who were mostly Irish and Scottish who were sold as forced labour to farm owners in NSW
whites were nothing but slaves at one stage. we are the oldest living slaves. enslaved for the longest period recorded of all slaves. we still prospered and created the entire world
Not many will try to tell you we were all sent out as free settlers with rights. Did anyone actually try to tell you that?
As a "ten pound pom" myself (actually a freeloader, since only my parents paid) I can assure you there was no "forced labour" or sale of people of any sort. That scheme was part of the great post-WW2 drive to import factory fodder for the industrial development that was seen as essential for Australia's survival. It was all chucked away of course in the global neo-liberal push beginning in the 1970s that is only now being seriously questioned.
@@bernarddavis1050 sorry but there were dozens of cases if not hundreds of cases of people an young children sold in domestic servitude and used as free labour across NSW,
Australia has had a long history of white slavery since settlement,
just ask anyone from my grandmother's family who were sold into domestic/sexual slavery in the tasmanian highlands after immigrating to Australia
From Ireland
@@keza3250 You are right, but only partially. The postwar "ten-pound Pom" immigration program was far different from the various "charitable" schemes (like the Fairbridge farm school racket) that brought out orphans and slum kids, who did indeed suffer terrible abuse in many cases. I think these are the unfortunate people you are referring to. Ten-pound Poms were actually carefully vetted by Australian immigration officers in London for their potential value; after all, it was the Australian taxpayer footing the bill for their passage. I know whereof I speak, having served 18 years as an Immigration officer myself.
This is true. Thats why Perth is laid out like a French city.
NEW HOLLAND
1901 not 1991
1695 is 92 years after Queen Elizabeth died.
nothing really new in any of that, was there?
W Australian History
Freebies ?.
I think that 'giving people a new chance' or 'second chance' is a more more recent believe or failing practice. All we know when looking back just 25 years ago, is earlier generations always had clear consequences, and clear orders. Sending people is to strategically convert a place into a nation with that background culture for one purpose only. Make it British or Spanish, or Portuguese or French. Belgian and Germans did some thing else. Muslims do this with christian countries, or Chineese with Lao, Cambodia and Myanmar. They failed to chineese Africa just like the Europeans failed. Any strong culture will not accept some rule based or weak culture vise a versa.
Strong culture or strong ignorance and superstitions . How good has African culture been for them over the centuries ?
The French who were in Tasmania treated the local Natives well,learnt from them and taught them things. The British at the time slaughtered the Natives. The first Police force were all Convicts. The overall picture is that Freemasons wanting more control. Ask India about the East India Company . Ask the Moors about the British war ships wanting more control. No freedom of travel back then and no different today. Also the 10 pound poms (i not like that label) who came to Australia were treated like shit from other English mostly convicts who were from where? At the end of the day, not all white people were and are evil. This is a choice.
He may have done a PhD but he can’t organise his thoughts and tell a coherent narrative.

What a load of miss leading rot
I'll ignore the amusing mis-spelling. We welcome CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. Do you have a point to make?
@@OtherSideAus yeah plenty...the amount of miss information in that video was so big...you could make a video twice as long proving well and truly beyond all doubt the vast majority of what he is saying is absolute B.S....he didn't provide a single document,a single eye witness account,no records at all,,and just spoke crap...there's plenty...and I mean plenty of historical documents, eye witness accounts, diaries, existing architecture and a whole more that show he was talking crap...
Why are so worried about my spelling when you are promoting absolutely garbage information? shouldn't you be focusing on that?
@@OtherSideAus Yes. He was saying that this sort of historical revisionism does little to advance the cause of Australians coming to terms with their dreadful history. He's saying we need to wake up to ourselves. It's a point worth making as the spread of fake facts grips the West as a whole.
@@OtherSideAus so you choose to focus on a spelling error,that you also say you will ignore...,that a complete contradiction of yourself ,let alone the that you focus on that instead of answering to the insane amount of B.S. in your content..
It's just plain old lies, completely misleading..he based all that without producing a single fact and and completely ignored the vast amount of undeniable documentation that proves beyond all doubt your utube content is crap..just plain old misleading crap..
Garbage
