Colonization-Ethnocentricity

How did the ethnocentricity of the British and the First Australians cause conflict between the two groups?

When British began colonizing, they thought that they were better than Australians. They thought that they had the best culture. British wanted the Australians to follow what they were doing. However, the first Australians wanted to keep their culture. British forced them to follow, and it started to cause the fights between the two groups. The British taught Bennelong, one of the Australians, to be one of them, but unfortunately, Bennelong couldn't stay being part of English, so he went back to his culture. British than put more force to the Australians, and started to take over the land. It eventually cause the conflict between the two groups.
