Abel Tasman, the Dutch explorer, is not known to have personally killed anyone during his voyages in the 17th century. However, his expeditions did lead to violent encounters between Europeans and Indigenous peoples, particularly in New Zealand. During his visit in 1642, there were skirmishes with Māori, resulting in fatalities on both sides. Tasman's accounts suggest that these conflicts arose from misunderstandings and cultural differences.
