About 40 Maori chiefs signed the treaty of Waitangi. Hone Heke was the first to sign but later decided that he didn’t agree with the treaty and chopped down the brittish flag pole several times. Many Maori Chiefs based their decision to sign or not on many things, and reasons different from one part of the country to another. Many who signed were fearful or uncertain of the outcome. The catalyst for the First Taranaki War was the disputed sale of a block of land to the British, despite a veto by the paramount chief of the tribe, Wiremu Kingi and a "solemn contract" by local Māori not to sell. Many of the wars were caused by British soldiers and arguments about land. But others were tribes vs tribes fighting over many different things or revenge. •About 1807: First use of muskets in battle in New Zealand, by Nga Puhi •1809: Crew of Boyd killed by Ngati Uru at Whangaroa •1818–25: Nga Puhi raids across North Island •1821–6: Ngati Toa and other iwi migrate from Waikato to Wellington area •1829–37: Ngati Toa and allies fight Ngai Tahu in South Island •1835: Ngati Mutunga and Ngati Tama invade Chatham Islands •1840: Treaty of Waitangi; first large-scale British settlement •1843: Twenty-six die (mostly Pakeha) as land dispute between Ngati Toa and Nelson settlers turns violent at Wairau •1845–6: Inconclusive Northern War between some Nga Puhi and government •1846: Fighting near Wellington as Ngati Toa resist expansion of settlement •1847: Fighting around Whanganui as up-river tribes attack settlement •1858: Coronation of Maori King symbolises opposition to further land sales •1860–1: First Taranaki War ends in stalemate between government and local iwi •1863–4: Waikato War – Kingites expelled from lower/mid-Waikato and Tauranga •1863: Suppression of Rebellion Act enables confiscation of land of 'rebel' Maori •1864–8: Many small conflicts, most between Pai Marire followers and other Maori •1865, 1866: Campaigns in south Taranaki by imperial troops achieve little •1868–9: Titokowaru's War threatens settler control of Whanganui area •1868–72: Te Kooti raids central North Island and is, in turn, pursued by kupapa •1881: Maori autonomy in south Taranaki ends with occupation of Parihaka •1884: Survey of King Country; Pakeha no longer excluded •1890s: Urewera Maori resist land surveys •1898: Hokianga Maori assert rights in Dog Tax Rebellion •1916: Arrest of Rua Kenana at Maungapohatu ends Maori autonomy in Urewera
