Did british and maori have peace after the treaty?
The relationship between the British and the Maori remained tense after the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840.

Why is waitangi only celebrated in New Zealand?
New Zealand was founded by the Treaty of Waitangi which was a treaty between Maori, as represented by many, but by no means all, Maori tribal leaders, and Pakeha (non-Maori) as represented by British government officials. The Treaty's official signing date was 6th of February, 1840 which is why 6th of february is known as Waitangi Day.
Why did the Maori trade things with the British?
The Maori traded with the British to obtain new goods such as weapons, tools, and textiles that they did not have access to in their own communities. In exchange, the British were seeking resources like flax, timber, and food supplies from the Maori. Trading served as a way for both parties to meet their own needs and benefit economically.
What effect did the treaty have on the people of waitangi?
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.
