Best Answer

The Treaty of Waitangi enabled British settlement on a bigger scale. For Maori it intially offered security as they had concerns over the colonisation of NZ by the French & the behaviour of some early British settlers. Maori operated under the assumption that they would retain control of their lands and receive protection from the British. The British and subsequent settlers took the Treaty (which had two ambiguous versions) to mean that they were now in control of NZ.
