The New Zealand Wars: Episode 2
"Kings and Empires". In 1840 the lands as far as the eye could see were part of an empire. The empire was not British, but Maori. It's 'emperor' was the great Ngati Toa chief, Te Rauparaha. Te Rauparaha was the greatest empire-builder in Maori history, and New Zealand's most famous poet. Kapiti, was easy to attack from, but hard to attack - the same advantage that Britian had in relation to continental Europe.
