1642 One day a explorer called Abel Tasman from European fande a plase
That he called nouveau zealandia that was the first time.
but the second explorer that went to new zealand in 1769 his name was James Cook the person that held the explorer was Tu Paia
The next time they went back or James Cook went back he brought plenty of muskets with him. A musket is a gun for back then.
They started a war but in 1830 the musket war ended or as the same people say the potato war ended.
The ratio of Maori to Pakeha in Aotearoa in 1840 maori - 40 and the
Pakeha - 1.
Useful information Drew... well recorded. Maybe add a pic of a musket from that time to illustrate your info., along with a pic of the 2 main explorers.
