Who conquered New Zealand?
New Zealand was never 'conquered'. The first people to arrive were Polynesians in around 1100 a.d, who later became known as Moari. In the 1600's Dutch navigator Able Tasman viewed New Zealand but believed it to be part of a great Southern Continent and didn't stay. In the 1800's Captain Cook 'discovered' NZ on behalf of the King of England. Pakeha (European) immigration began slowly in the 1800's; mostly whalers, sealers and a few farmers. The crown of England needed to be able to govern over their subjects in NZ and also wanted to prevent French interference in NZ. Maori in return wanted assurances from the crown that English people in NZ would behave justly, that France would not invade them and that the Queen would stop Pakeha taking over 'unused' Maori land. This culminated in the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. Pakeha didn't keep to all the terms of the Treaty, and hence the Waitangi Tribunal that was set up in the 1990's to compensate Maori Iwi for unfair loss of land, forestries and fisheries.
