Dutch Australia

Dutch Australia was a colony on Australia (duh) that lasted from 1801 to 1877. Its capital was Darwin.

History
In 1765, the Dutch were trying to find sugar cane and got in a new land, but they found out the land was Australia, a British territory. The Netherlands asked the UK if it could get a bit of Australia, but other countries overheard it: Portugal, France, and Spain (And then the Ottoman Empire).

On the the Convention of Edinburg, the Netherlands got a bit of the North of the new land.

Dutch Australia was divided into 4 hereditary captaincies: Koninkrijk Van Leeuwen, Koninkrijk van Christus, Land van de stok and New Holland.

Around 11 million people migrated to Dutch Australia. The country wasn't very pacific to natives and it made them slaves.

Unfortunately, most of its history is unknown. In 1877, it was given back to the UK.
