How does ethnnocentricity cause conflict?

The British first looked at the First Australians as savage and barbaric due to the fact that the ethnocentric view about them because the British came from a very civilized country (compared from the Aboriginals) and when they saw that the Aboriginals were wearing no clothes at all and that they had less technology so the British thought that the Aboriginal were less superior. With the ethnocentrism of the British it affected the perceptions of the Aboriginals because if the Aboriginals knew what the British were saying the Aboriginals would not feel like that they have power but inferior. The conflicts between the British and the Frist Australians that came from ethnocentricity was caused by the language and the action that the British used with the First Australians. With the negative actions caused by the British the Aboriginals felt missed used and felt like they were not being treated right and this caused problems that coursed more and more conflicts.
