new zealand to kill whales
and seals, at the time
they also introduced
cotton clothes, stone
tools, potatoes, , tobacco,
alcohol, muskets and diseases. In 1840 the treaty of
waitangi was signed.
The treaty of waitangi
was an agreement of the
3 p's partnership, participation
and protection. However the
transaltion from maori to
eurapeons were different
so there was a bit of
miscomunaction in the treaty. 1820 hongi hika visited
england to, and his main
reason was to get
muskets however
he also accomplished
getting a maori dictionary
with the help of Professor
Samuel Lee. In 1863 The british government
confiscated 2.5 million
hectares of land from
maori because they acted
in rebellion against Her
Majesty's authority so all
the maori became very poor.
So maori lost a lot of land
after the NZ war. 1865 was the maori

trying to convert the
maori way of holding
land to the english way
of legal land titles In 1807 the musket

where the maori tribes
would fight over land
and potatoes they almost
changed he names to
potato wars, potatoes
were very important
because they were super
good food source. 1842 is when the musket
ward ended the reason
they ended was because
the reason it started was
because they wanted muskets
and potatoes but now everyone
has them so they stopped
fight however unfortunately
20,000 people dies. 1845 is when
the new zealand
wars started and
almost around 3000
people dies, the war
broke out because of the
miscommunication of the
treaty of waitangi because
what it aid was different in
translation to maori so pakeha
wanted to rule maori but
maori did not agree. 1872 is when the NZ
wars ended, the wars
stopped because the
lost 300 people and the
tribes kept getting weaker
so they stopped fighting. 1642 Dutch explorer Abel tasman

find new zealand, and
that's where the english
name came from.
The tasman sea is also
named after him. 1769 James cook captain
sailed his ship HMS and
was the first sighting of
maori and it did not go
well, they blew their
trumpets as well as

a big misunderstanding. Periods
