Years: 1840 - 1851
Armed conflict begins between the Colonial government and Māori in 1843 with the Wairau Affray over land and disagreements over sovereignty.
These conflicts, mainly in the North Island, see thousands of imperial troops and the Royal Navy come to New Zealand and became known as the New Zealand Wars.
Following these armed conflicts, large amounts of Māori land is confiscated by the government to meet settler demands.
