Treaty of Waitangi essay

This essay will argue that the treaty of Waitangi has many reasons why signed.

Historians argue that understanding the causes of significant events is much more important than just remembering dates, facts, and figures about things in the past. Signed in 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi is an agreement between Māori—Tangata Whenua of Aotearoa—and the British. The treaty was signed for some reasons such as Land, Muskets, and Trading for food to get those muskets if the treaty wasn't signed there would be a lot of Fights, Prostitutes, and Wars.

without the treaty, everything would be madness. without the treaty, there would be a lot of fighting prostitution and drinking between Maoris and British men. There wouldn't be any land to share No items to be traded and no equal rights. There was more Maoris than English there was alcohol use and prostitution and no treaty to agree on. Without the treaty, there wasn't really any you could do anything without asking or getting in trouble but now there is a treaty you have laws and you get in trouble and there are laws they both agree on. The missionaries wanted to protect the Maoris and their rights
Because of the treaty, it was good for the Maoris since they got their rights and land such as buying the land their religion and scared items. The Maori rights and the missionaries had a huge impact on the treaty.

The musket wars killed around 20,000 people and the land boundaries had changed as the result of this Musket wars gained trade through the Pakeha. While the musket wars were occurring there were no rules and The Maori people had an advantage because of those weapons they had what they wanted. The musket wars caused violence and deaths since there were no rules around or laws around that.

Declaration of independence. Was there anything in the plan before the treaty The declaration od independence was signed in 1835 in the hand of James busby. The Maori could trade Legal terms because of the flag, they had made a deal to sign the declaration. The Maori as had been agreed in this declaration so everyone had rules and things they wanted and need. The treaty was signed so everyone could have the respect and things they wanted and to share the land without the treaty there would be violence and no rules.

Without the treaty we wouldn't have the thing we have today.
When there wasn't a treaty the ships would sail in and the pakeha and the Maori would get drunk and start fights and use people for prostitution then there would be killing for items when James busby came up with an idea of making a declaration of independence it still wasn't enough. The English wanted to protect the Maori so they decided to make the declaration of independence so they could both agree on. This is why the treaty was signed for them to be safe.
