Battle of Parramatta

The battle of the Australian frontier occurred in Sydney, and it took place in March 1797. Aboriginal warriors were the resistance in the conflict, and Pemulwuy led them. It was an attack on a government farm at Toongabbie. The garrison of redcoats was the one being challenged to battle.

The battle of Parramatta led to immigration. The federal department for immigration was formed after the war, which led to the massive growth of European migration from the 1940s to the 1960s. This changed Australian life in specific ways. The battle also led to European food production being tried for the first time and tested. Also, the struggle brought about migrant support projects being experimented in Australia. It was in the battle of Parramatta that many new arrivals from war-torn Europe first settled, which led to America naval hospital be constructed in Granville Park in Australia at the year 1942.

Battle of Parramatta had a significant impact on Australia in that it led to the development of migrants hostels, which was located near Ermington, Dundas, and Villawood. The primary purpose of this hostel was to accommodate displaced persons and recent migrants. This battle also brought about the coming up of a town, and the city is well known across the world, and that is the town of Parramatta (Walmsley., 1968). The battle led to the development of the place into a city. This led to Australia being identified as an agricultural nation was being forged first here.

This battle brought a tremendous positive impact to Australia as by the development of the city of Parramatta through the struggle it led to British government testing its limits of moral and administrative governance through the building of Government House which was the first Government house to be built by British (Lim., 2016). Not only did they make the Government House but also constructed prisons, factories, asylums, and other native institutions in Australia. The development of Parramatta city through the battle is a significant impact and history as it helps to forge out the identity of Australia.

The battle led to the development of the city and the popularization of the Parramatta in Australia. People from the Lebanese village of Kfarsghab came and settled in Parramatta after arriving in Australia in the 1890s. By the year 2008, people in Parramatta could easily trace their ancestry to the village of Kfarsghab. The importance of Parramatta was seen when one of the main streets in Lebanon was named Parramatta road.
