Short History of New Zealand
New Zealandās history begins with the arrival of the MÄori people from Polynesia around the 13th century, who developed a rich culture rooted in seafaring, tribal traditions, and deep connection to the land. Dutch explorer Abel Tasman became the first European to sight the islands in 1642, followed by British explorer James Cook in 1769, whose voyages opened the door to trade and settlement. In 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi was signed between many MÄori chiefs and the British Crown, marking the start of colonial governance, though it led to decades of land disputes and conflict. Over time, New Zealand evolved into a self-governing nation, gaining full sovereignty in the 20th century, and today it is celebrated for its unique blend of MÄori and European heritage, stunning natural landscapes, and progressive society.
