Medieval New Zealand
Maori voyagers from
Polynesia were the first to settle New Zealand in the 9th century. In 1642 the
Dutch
explorer, Abel Tasman, arrived. The Maori remained unharmed until Capt. James Cook arrived
in 1769, claiming
New Zealand as British territory. In 1841 New Zealand became a British
colony.
