​Today most Australians are descendants of 168,000 British criminals
 deported to a penal colony there between 1788 and 1868, and yet today
Australia has one of the lowest homicide rates in the world. 70 years ago
Germany and Japan were the most militaristic countries in the world, now
they may be the least militaristic.    ​
