There were both many problems and benefits associated with the arrival of European colonists in New Zealand. Problems included wars over land ownership/theft, loss of land, culture and language, introduction of pests, diseases and drugs/alcohol, deforestation. However benefits included technological advances as the Maori population were very technologically un-advanced in the 1800's, still doing most jobs by manual labour. The question is very broad thus hard to answer however hopefully these headings will give you an idea of where to start researching the answer further if you want to have a good understanding of the impact, whether it be good or bad, by the colonisation of New Zealand.
