How does ethnnocentricity cause conflict?

On January 26th 1788, British colonizer arrive at “Sydney”. When they arrived at the Sydney, they saw people knows as first Austrailian. First Austrailian had different culture and appearance and life style. The British tried to overcome to these differences and make a contact with them. However British’s attempt failed. The two different culture changed how they view each others by British’s ethnocentrisim. British thought they don’t reach a standard line of human being. Therefore British called first Australians as animals, barbaric, savage and more. Colonizer tried to change them in to British standard. British didn’t did not try to understand their culture. Ethnocentrism of British caused conflict between two groups of people, as they tried to help native through thire point of view.
