All the Countries together have hosted 6 Olympic games, not only have these countries hosted Olympics, but the have a very similar history, they come from similar beginnings, and due to economic interdependence they have had to deal with good and bad times together.1700s: All three countries (at the time colonies) were taken over in a short period of time by the English. Australia was found by a man named Arther Philip, New Zealand by James Cook, and

Then, Australia in 1901. Finally, New Zealand in 1939.1800s: All three countries had a Gold Rush!!! New Zealand Maori and the English have a decade of war starting in 1860. Also the United States fight with Britain in the War of 1812.

Good job. You made excellent comparisons and pointed out very interesting examples of common events that have affected both countries. I would like to see a little more effort in finding pictures that really help make your blog great. Although comparing the flags is interesting, I think you could have gone ahead and added more pics too. Don't feel restricted on the amount of pics you can have.
