The New Zealand Wars

Presented by historian James Belich, the New Zealand Wars uncovers the conflicts between Māori and Pakeha in the 19th century, when a small tribal group of people clashed with the world’s largest empire. The struggle for British sovereignty over mana Māori is a story of racism and heroism, grief and triumph, flowering myths and stunted truths. These were the first overseas wars to which Australia committed troops.
