Welcome to New Zealand HOME HISTORY WEATHER NEW ZEALAND ... Special Pictures New Zealand Geography The country of New Zealand is a member of Oceania or the Pacific Islands, a consortium of thousands of islands located in the Pacific Ocean. Almost all of the country is made up of the South and North islands. Cook Straight separates these islands. It is a canal flanked on the east by the South Pacific Ocean and on the west by the Tasman Sea. The islands are located along an area dominated by a southwest by northeast axis. From north to south, their length is approximately 1,600 kilometers (or 1,000 miles), and from east to west their maximum width is 450 kilometers (or 280 miles). The Island of Rangitoto is a huge, volcanic cone which is now extinct on the harbor of Auckland. The Rangitoto Isaland summit is a popular attraction for tourists, offering panoramic views of Auckland City and the Hauraki Gulf. Several small and broadly scattered islands are also part of the New Zealand territory. Some are uninhabited and tiny.

Geography Home Page New Zealand Introduction New Zealand Background: The Polynesian Maori reached New Zealand in about A.D. 800. In 1840, their chieftains entered into a compact with Britain, the Treaty of Waitangi, in which they ceded sovereignty to Queen Victoria while retaining territorial rights. In that same year, the British began the first organized colonial settlement. A series of land wars between 1843 and 1872 ended with the defeat of the native peoples. The British colony of New Zealand became an independent dominion in 1907 and supported the UK militarily in both World Wars. New Zealand's full participation in a number of defense alliances lapsed by the 1980s. In recent years, the government has sought to address longstanding Maori grievances.
