Even though Papua New Guinea is located in the same region as Australia and New Zealand, why is it that Australia and New Zealand became technologically advanced and wealthy? 

                This is the question I chose because, it was an exciting one to me and I knew some things about the history I would like to find out more. I had a great amount of information about the question from a public school when I was still in my home country. I have known that even though Papua New Guinea is located in the same region as Australia and New Zealand, these three countries have a lot of different events, but among each countries, they have possess relation with Indonesia. 

      For example in the 16^th century, Papua New Guinea had colonized by Dutch beside Australia and New Zealand had British taking over. From what I learned in Indonesia, Dutch took over for more than 350 years and explore all Indonesian and Papua New Guinea's natural resources without giving any useful education or even developments. Also, Australia and New Zealand have better properties that is valuable for every country in the world to trade with, because they had the ability to do that, it gives them much more advance chance for a wealthy future.

(The Dutch ordered anything possible around 1941)

                  In My Opinion, these different changes were also because of Papua's strong culture. They were covered by their various beliefs and the heritage trust which leads them in difficulties to accept the new innovation and modern ways of life whereas the natural resources is very rich. I think that these are the reasons why Papua New Guinea has less cargo and so much less technologically advanced wealth.
