NZ was colonized by the British and a country in the British Empire. When Great Britain went to war with Germany, so did NZ, Australia, Canada, and other countries which were then part of the British Empire. WW1 was not merely a clash of countries. It was a clash of empires, even more so than WW2, and it is difficult to equate in a modern context now that Imperialism is in the past. The question "Why should NZ get involved?" was probably not asked in NZ at the time, at least not aloud.

New Zealand was involved in world war one because they are and were part of the British Monarchy. New Zealanders went to war because they had to back up Britain who were their motherland. 18,166 New Zealanders died in WW1 and 41,317 were wounded.
There were 11,900 deaths of people serving for New Zealand in World War II. This was .73% of the population of the country at the time.
