before settlement by europeans, georgia was inhabited by the mound building cultures. the british colony of georgia was founded by james oglethorpe on february 12, 1733. the colony was administered by the trustees for the establishment of the colony of georgia in america under a charter issued by (and named for) king george ii. the trustees implemented an elaborate plan for the colony's settlement, known as the oglethorpe plan, which envisioned an agrarian society of yeoman farmers and prohibited slavery. the colony was invaded by the spanish in 1742, during the war of jenkins' ear. in 1752, after the government failed to renew subsidies that had helped support the colony, the trustees turned over control to the crown. georgia became a crown colony, with a governor appointed by the king.

the "comte de paris" arrived in akaroa, new zealand on august 13, 1840. unknown to the french and german immigrants, they had landed in a british colony. this is because on february 30, 1840 the south island chiefs signed the treaty of waitangi. the treaty represents an agreement over land ownership between the british crown and māori tribes. the settlers were offered free passage to tahiti or the marquesas when they learnt that they had arrived in a british colony. none accepted this offer. the french government then came to an agreement with the british government in 1841 that the british government would protect the rights of the french immigrants in akaroa. eventually the settlers were granted official ownership of the land by the british. the immigrants established two small towns in akaroa and by 1843 they numbered 69 settlers.
