∙ 15y agoNew Zealand was an Ally of Great Brittain, and part of the British Empire. Michael Savage, the PM at the time was famously quoted in an address to the nation "where Britain stands, we stand, where she goes, we go."

∙ 13y agoNew Zealand was an imperial possession of the United Kingdom therefore when the British Isles became part of World War 2 New Zealand became part of World War 2. They had another complication: Japan wanted Australia and New Zealand because of the raw materials they had and because the Japanese wanted to control the Pacific nations, part of their imperial expansion. Those were the reasons New Zealand became involved in World War 2.
