High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The New Zealand Wars, sometimes called the Land Wars and also once called the M ori Wars, were a series of armed conflicts that took place in New Zealand between 1845 and 1872. The wars were fought over a number of issues, the most prominent concerning M ori land being sold to the settler (white) population. The Treaty of Waitangi, signed in 1840, guaranteed that individual M ori iwi (tribes) should have undisturbed possession of their lands, forests, fisheries and other taonga (treasures) in return for becoming British subjects. The majority of M ori were keen to sign to consolidate the peace that had reigned for 5 years since the end of the long inter-tribal musket wars. All pre treaty colonial land-sale deals had been completed directly between the 2 parties, with M ori benefiting from a source of European knowledge and missionaries receiving land for houses, schools, churches and farms.
