How/when the Europeans came NZ

Today we watched the second part of how the Maori and European came to NZ. This time we watched the video about the Europeans. We found out the first European to come to NZ was Abel Tasman. They arrived in NZ in 1642 and brought Pigs,diseases,rats,and potatoes. Well they were trading with the people off Australia. The Australians gave them muskets which was a name for a gun and that how the musket wars began.The musket war ended in 1830. The Maori out numbered the Pakeha people by 40 to 1. Captain James Cook died while in a fight in Hawaii. Here's a picture of Captain Cook
