Answer: It caused tremendous losses.
Step-by-step explanation:
During the colonization of other parts of the world, Europeans contributed to reducing the number of natives they found in the place they colonized. That was the case with Australia as well. The British influenced the reduction of the number of natives in various ways. In some regions, the number of indigenous tribes has been drastically reduced. In Tasmania, in just thirty years, the number of Aboriginal people has been reduced from 5,000 to only 300 natives.
