New Zealand: People, Places and Events that Shaped the History of New Zealand

By: James Boyle

Narrated by: Craig Patterson

History of New Zealand

New Zealand is a country that has forever been admired for its beautiful landscapes - a wilderness that barely seems to be touched by humans. The populated areas are surrounded by forests, plains, rocky mountains - even beaches. All of this gives New Zealand that heavenly vibe.

However, the place we admire today has been heavily affected by its history. People who wanted to farm the land versus people who wanted to keep the land the way it is. A land that, despite the wars it had been through, has managed to hang on to its beauty.

Packed with colonization, war, and expansion, the history of New Zealand is something everyone should know and study in this day and age.

It was a great start to learn about key events that shaped those who call New Zealand their home. I plan to take these named events and seek out more resources to ensure the perspective of the this narrative is not only one sided.
