So after the wars the population went down to 7000 to 8000. They keep getting killed from war and diseases then the best settlement was Russel. The rangatira and missionary went happy with a town so they made a plan. the treaty was nearly destroy because of water damage and rats an nearly burnt. They started the united tribes of NZ to make the town better. Then a man from France came and said he wanted to be king but then Britain went and made a treaty so they could own NZ and stop doggy trades. Then there was a company call the NZ company. Heaps of the chiefs signed the treaty. 500 singed it. But the treaty translation was wrong because they made up some words and it was all wrong and then their were more wars. The ways the moari won was by making bunkers and hiding and then shooting the Britains and then they won the war.
THE END
Facts very well expressed Toby... check your spelling of Maori and ensure that proper nouns begin with capital (uppercase) letters e.g. Waitangi. Good work.
ReplyDeleteHi Toby
ReplyDeleteI like the way that you've described this history in your own words. There is one inaccuracy, the Maori population dropped from 100,000 to 70,000 to 80,000 in the late 1830s.
It is great that you have explained that the treaty was translated incorrectly because there wasn't a Maori word that meant sovereignty, so it was replaced with another word which didn't have the same meaning.
Keep up the good work.
