Explanation:

Cultural diffusion was in certain part of Australia to New zealand and parts of Oceana. The remoteness of Oceania and it´s landscapes, especially in New Zealand caused if you wanted to go to another country you would have to sail there. Oceania was inhabited by Polynesian tribes, who were seafarers, this is one of their many common orgins. Soon the factors of these tribe differentiated. There was a lot of culture isolation, which permitted the aboriginal peoples of these lands to remain so, until the British first arrived in Australia in 1778 and the Dutch arrived in New Zealand in 1642. At that point, the culture and lifestyle of these nations were closed up. But then there was the arrival of European powers through the sea, including France and Britain, a process of cultural diffusion initiated, including the exchange of languages between the colonizing powers and their new lands, and the cultures, and the political styles, of the two sides, also began to mix. Til this very day cultural isolation continues in Oceania since the tribes that were in the region left. However cultural diffusion is a permanent thing, with the languages, cultural systems, and social systems (acquired from the colonizers) is still the major thing for them all.
