Resumption of New Zealand Wars

Date: July 17, 1863 • Location: London, United Kingdom

This milestone marked the outbreak and beginning of this historic period, which spanned 1863–1864.

The New Zealand Wars resumed as British forces led by General Duncan Cameron began the invasion of the Waikato.

The New Zealand Wars took place from 1845 to 1872 between the New Zealand colonial government and allied Māori on one side, and Māori and Māori-allied settlers on the other.
