The following are some basic facts on the British colonisation of New Zealand: * In December 1642, Dutch explorer Abel Tasman sighted a new land which he described as mountainous and covered in cloud in the south, but more barren in the north - this was New Zealand, named after the Dutch province of Zeeland. * New Zealand remained largely unknown until Captain James Cook arrived in 1769 and explored and circumnavigated the islands, charting the coastline extensively. * Following Cook's detailed report, the usual run of whalers, missionaries, and traders followed. * In 1840, Britain formally annexed the islands, and New Zealand's first permanent European settlement was established on 22 January 1840. * The Treaty of Waitangi made New Zealand a British colony. 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. * With the signing of the Treaty, Governor Hobson declared British sovereignty over New Zealand, and the colony of New Zealand was formally proclaimed on 3 May 1840. * New Zealand was initially part of the Australian colony of New South Wales. It became a separate colony in 1841 and became self-governing in 1852. Dominion status was attained in 1907, and full independence was granted in 1931 and ratified by New Zealand in 1947.
