The graph shows the number of Europeans and Maori people in New Zealand during the years 1836-1901. At the start, you see Maori have the most people with 100k during the years from 1836-1841 than the Maori people start dying down 1846 downwards, However, the Europeans started coming with more and more people from 1846 onwards. So what might've happened?
Why do you think the numbers of Maori decreased?
I think that the reason the number of Maori people was going down was that there were alot of wars between Maori tribes and also between the Europeans for land.
Why do you think the numbers of Europeans changed?
The number of Europeans would've increased from the Europeans going to England and letting people know about New Zealand and recruiting people for a new life.
