Why did the pakeha want the land?

The Maori fought the early European settlers of NZ predominately because the settlers where unfairly taking the Maori peoples land off them as the Maori believed the Europeans were wanting to share the land, however the settlers wanted to purchase the land outright. The Maori people soon realised that the settlers did not want to share the land but by this time allot of the land was in the settlers hands. As more settlers came into New Zealand, they began to cheat the Maori people out of their lands using contracts unfair laws and such. Out of all this the Maori land wars began, this was the Maori people fighting for their land. This did not work well for the Maori however, and the outcome wasn't positive for them. Lots of them died, others were jailed etc, then the settlers used the wars as an excuse to 'confiscate' more land. Eventually the Maori people used land marches, strikes and land occupation to, in the end, start to get their land back, or compensation if not possible.

What were two reasons that led to the maori and british making a treaty?

The British (or Pakeha) had been trading their musketts with the Maori, in return for food, flax, or land. This led to many Maori being killed a lot faster in their tribal wars. Also, many Pakeha had been buying land off of the Maori, with the Pakeha believing it was theirs to keep, but Maori thinking they had only lent it to them for a short period. As you can imagine, this led to many arguments and fights.

What wars did the maori fight in?

All of them. Technically the Maori fought in all of their wars for independence against the British forces, but people of Maori ancestry probably would have signed up and fought in WW1, WW2, Iraq/Afghanistan/etc and any other wars. There would've probably been wars between tribes before and after the British arrived. It depends whether you are talking Tribal/traditional/ancient Maori, or people with Maori ancestry. They certainly did fight in all major conflicts and with legendary distinction. There are many stories of the fierceness of Maori forces during both world wars, particularly WW1. In Beans history of Australians in WW1 he mentions the fearsome sight of a company of Maori soldiers running across "no-mans' land" toward the German trenches shouting a haka, only to arrive at the trench and find that the Germans had fled in fear before a shot was fired. The Maori people also share the ANZAC legend with Australians and New Zealanders. A proud and majestic people, they have fought side by side with other Commonwealth soldiers in all major conflicts. ----------- Many Maori have fought as part of the New Zealand Defence forces in many wars and UN Peace keeping operations over the years. The following is a short (incomplete) list of wars and operations the New Zealand army has been involved in:- WW1, WW2, Malaya, Korea, Vietnam, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, East Timor, Sudan, Solomon Islands, Afghanistan. If your question intended to refers to tribal wars, and wars against the British during the early years of colonisation:- The Musket Wars, The Flagstaff War, The Hutt Valley Campaign, The Wanganui Campaign, The First Taranaki War, The Invasion of The Waikato, The Tauranga Campaign, The Second Taranaki War, The East Cape War, Te Kooti's War, and Titokowaru's War.
