1901 - Six colonies federated into the Commonwealth of Australia.

In 1901, the six colonies of Australia—New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania—came together to form a single nation, the Commonwealth of Australia.

This union was ratified in a referendum of all six colonies, in which the majority of the population voted in favor of joining to form the Commonwealth of Australia.

The Commonwealth of Australia was established on 1 January 1901.

The new nation was granted autonomy over its own military, foreign affairs, and taxation.

The Commonwealth of Australia was given a Governor-General to represent the British Crown.

The Commonwealth of Australia was established as a federation of states, meaning that each state retained its own legislative assembly and was able to maintain a degree of autonomy.

The Commonwealth of Australia adopted a new national flag, which featured the Union Jack in the upper left corner and the Southern Cross constellation in the right.
