NEW ZEALAND LAND WARS
Of the three separate campaigns that made up the First Maori War conducted in the North Island of
New Zealand, the most notable actions occurred during the Northern War (March 1845 - January 1846)
in the Bay of Islands against the warriors of Hone Heke and Kawiti.
The out-break of war in Taranaki in 1860 ushered in the commencement of almost twelve years of
continual conflict across the North Island.
The centre piece of the Third Maori War being the invasion of the Waikato in 1863 to bring about the
downfall of the Maori King Movement which it failed to do.
From 1866 British troops were withdrawn from active operations, their place being taken over initially
by militia units, and then by the formation in 1867 of the Armed Constabulary.
During all the operations various allied Maori tribes supported the Imperial and Colonial troops, the
latter phases of the conflict being conducted almost exclusively with Maori units.
