New Zealand became a British colony in 1841.
New Zealand has British heritage. This is reflected by the dominant ethnic group in New Zealand, the parliamentary system and the legal system. New Zealand was a British colony from 1840 - 1907. The culture of New Zealand is strongly influenced by this, but also by the culture of the Maori who were residents of New Zealand about 500 years prior to the arrival of Europeans. Other European and Pacific cultures have also had an effect on New Zealand society, but to a lesser extent.
James Cook "Re-Discovered" New Zealand and claimed it in the name of England: through the Treaty of Waitangi this was made official. Further information: The Treaty of Waitangi effectively signalled the founding of New Zealand by white settlers, and made New Zealand a British colony. The Treaty was signed on 6 February 1840 by over 500 Māori chiefs of New Zealand and the British Governor William Hobson, representing the British Government. It was intended to protect Māori land interests in exchange for recognition of British sovereignty. The Māori agreed to hand over ownership of their land to Queen Victoria, and in return were to retain the right to occupy their land as long as they wished, and to be protected in so doing. With the signing of the Treaty, Governor Hobson declared British sovereignty over New Zealand, and the colony of New Zealand was formally proclaimed on 3 May 1840. This resulted in a great increase in the number of British migrants coming to New Zealand.

The British did not give the trade that the Maori wanted because they sought to maintain their own economic and strategic interests in New Zealand, which often conflicted with the desires of the Maori people.
