ANSWER:

The factor that was common in the British colonization of both Australia and New Zealand was that the colonization followed Captain Cook's exploration of both areas.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Captain James Cook was one of the 'most famous explorers' of his times.
  • According to the records, he was the one to discover the continent of Australia and the 'islands of New Zealand'.
  • He also played an important role in disproving the theory of the existence of Terra Australias.
