 | | A group or category that is seldom mentioned or considered in the histories is the half-castes, the people of mixed Māori and Pākehā descent, of which there would have been several thousand in New Zealand at the time of the Wars. |
 | | The Waikato War, including the Tauranga Campaign, was the biggest of all the New Zealand Wars. |
 | | The wars were fought over disputed land being sold to the settling population, by the various tribes, and so involved both the native Māori, and the new European settlers, known as the Pākehā, who were assisted by thousands of experienced British or Imperial troops. |
