Question

How did forced assimilation affect Aboriginal children?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. It caused the children to be taken from their families

Explanation:

Australia was very cruel when it came to their position about the Aborigines. Systematically, the Australians tried to perform a genocide over the native population, using numerous methods to achieve that goal. One of the cruelest methods was that the children were taken away from their mothers and fathers, and they were given to white families. The plan was to Westernize the Aboriginal children in this, as they were going to be raised in white families, educated in white schools, and adopt the Western culture, while in meantime neglecting their ow culture as they have not came in touch with it at all.
