In 1840, New Zealand became part of the British Empire with the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi on February 6. This treaty was an agreement between representatives of the British Crown and various Māori chiefs, establishing British sovereignty over New Zealand while ostensibly guaranteeing Māori rights to their land and culture. The incorporation of New Zealand into the empire marked a significant moment in its colonial history.

(separate declaration for the South Island.)There us of course, no British Empire these days. Long gone.There is The Commonwealth, a free association of some of the former colonies, and of some countrieswho were never colonies. Known today for its sports meet, and for educational matters.Further information:New Zealand became a member of the British Empire with the signing of the treaty of Waitangi in 1840. The Treaty of Waitangi was an official recognition of the founding of New Zealand by white settlers, and its incorporation into the British Empire. The Treaty was signed on 6 February 1840 by over 500 Māori chiefs of New Zealand and the British Governor William Hobson, representing the British Government. The signing of the Treaty meant that Governor Hobson declared British sovereignty over New Zealand, and the colony of New Zealand was formally proclaimed on 3 May 1840.
