1864 CE

The Waikato War, after a series of eighteen battles, ends in April 1864 with the retreat of the Kingitanga Māori into the rugged interior of the North Island and the confiscation of about twelve thousand square kilometers of Māori land (four percent of New Zealand's land area), which quickly provokes the Second Taranaki War.

In this new phase of the New Zealand Wars, several tribes fight on the government side against Maori militants, most of them members of the Ringatu and Hauhau (Pai Marire) religious movements.
