What did Europeans do to New Zealand?
Apart from convicts escaping from Australia and shipwrecked or deserting sailors seeking asylum with Māori tribes, the first Europeans in New Zealand were in search of profits—from sealskins, timber, New Zealand flax (genus Phormium), and whaling.Whalers, missionaries and traders followed, and in 1840 Britain formally annexed the islands and established New Zealand's first permanent European settlement at Wellington.Māori quickly adopted food sources introduced by Europeans, growing potatoes, gifting pigs to other tribes, and developing large wheat plantations and mills. In the early 1800s, pigs and baskets of potatoes were used as currency.

What animals did the European settlers bring to New Zealand : When humans – first Maori and then European settlers – arrived in New Zealand, introduced mammals came with them: rats, possums, stoats, ferrets, weasels, deer, pigs, mice, cats, dogs and others.

How did the British treat the Māori

The British resorted to confiscating large areas of large used by the 'rebel' Maoris and using force to enforce the decisions of the courts but the Maori were not subject to the unlimited power used in new South Wales and South Africa where death squads were used to attempt the extermination of the local people.

Why did Europeans immigrate to NZ : Some were sealers or whalers; others were escaped convicts seeking a new chance; others were traders linking the mercantile world with the Māori communities; and a few came as missionaries bringing the gospel to the 'heathen'.

Hence we may believe that the Maori very soon acquired a due appreciation of the value of metal tools. The early traders in New Zealand soon found that the implements most desired by the natives (apart from muskets) were adzes, axes, tomahawks, chisels, hoes, and spades. In June, 1835, J. S.

How did colonization affect the Māori people

This colonial history, as well as ongoing structural racism, has caused high rates of poverty among Māori and contributed to a disproportionate number of Māori children and young people in care. The impact of this has continued through multiple generations and Māori are still over-represented in care today.Smallpox and plague were quickly contained on the rare occasions they were identified. However significant diseases were brought, including venereal infections, measles, influenza, typhoid fever (enteric fever), dysentery and tuberculosis.Loss of native animals

Kiore probably killed off tuatara (a lizard-like reptile), two kinds of frog, and small petrels and seabirds on the mainland. In the 19th century, European settlers introduced more rat species, mice, weasels, ferrets, cats, and stoats.

Hundreds of Māori were killed in retaliation. There are several theories to explain what the French did to anger Māori. They are known to have fished in sacred waters, thereby violating tapu, and they were also unaware of how their actions affected local politics and tribal rivalries.

Why did the Māori and British fight : War dominated the North Island in the 1860s. The causes of the conflict have been much debated, but settler hunger for land and the government's desire to impose real sovereignty over Māori were key factors.

What happened in NZ in the 1980s : It was the age of the 'Yuppie'. But it was also a decade of profound political and social change. It was the decade when the 'baby boomers' took over from the generation which had fought in the Second World War. The bitterly opposed 1981 Springbok tour shook the country to its core.

What was NZ like in 1840

1840 Te Tiriti o Waitangi is signed

Māori were still in the majority and enjoying entrepreneurialism across Aotearoa and the Pacific. However, British subjects and other Europeans were acquiring land from Māori and had set up valuable commercial operations. Large groups of settlers had set out for New Zealand in 1839.

The introduction in the late 18th century of European plants such as potatoes, animals such as pigs, and technology including iron tools and muskets, altered Māori people's patterns of daily life dramatically and permanently.When Pākehā settlers arrived in New Zealand, Māori quickly embraced the new foods they brought, in particular:

  • wheat for flour.
  • sheep, pigs, goats and chickens.
  • vegetables such as pumpkin, potato, corn and maize, carrots and cabbage.

How were the Māori treated by the Europeans : Māori, as individuals and communities, were the subject of racism and discrimination as Europeans settled in New Zealand in the 19th century. However, the extent and nature of intolerance varied.
