The term 'Musket Wars' is a misnomer that has now fallen out of use in academic circles. It refers to a period of Maori intertribal conflict that began in the early 1800s and was all but over by the time of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, New Zealand's founding document, in 1840. However many of these conflicts had their roots in events that took place prior to European contact. An alternative term would be Take Wars (TAH-keh, meaning point of issue or concern) as the root cause of these wars was usually due to cultural imperatives such as utu (payment or balance) or, more likely, transgression of tapu (sacredness). Although possession of muskets greatly increased the deadliness of these conflicts, it was neither the underlying cause or the driving force behind these wars.
