The British convinced the Māori to sign the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 by presenting it as a means of establishing peace and protecting Māori rights and property. They emphasized the benefits of British governance, including trade opportunities and the protection from external threats, particularly from other European powers and settlers. Some Māori leaders were motivated by the desire for legal recognition and protection of their lands, while others were led by misunderstandings regarding the treaty's implications, particularly concerning sovereignty versus governance. Ultimately, a combination of diplomatic persuasion, promises of protection, and the desire for stability played roles in the signing process.
