	Irish Land Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Irish situation was favourable, with agriculture improving and pressure on the land decreasing since the Irish potato famine.
		The Land Act turned the tide of laissez-faire legislation favouring capitalist landlordism, and in principle, if not in practice, was a defeat for the concept of the absolute right of property.
		Land purchase significantly reduced the amount of capital in Ireland that could have been invested to improve efficiency and competitiveness of Irish farms.

		In the 1970s, the name the Land Wars became popular for awhile, and was used by some historians like Keith Sorrenson.
		Another name, the Colonial New Zealand Wars is also used, especially by Tim Ryan and Bill Parham in the title of their lavishly illustrated and well written book.

	MAORI WARS - THE EFFECTS OF THE WARS ON THE MAORI PEOPLE - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
		In confiscating the land, little heed was paid to the degree of “guilt” of the “rebels”, and it was noticeable that the best of the confiscated land was retained by the Government for European settlement.
		Land transactions were coming dangerously close to provoking a renewal of the war, and moreover the Maoris involved were paying a bitter price for their loyalty.
		Land transactions, particularly in the King Country, led to the same sort of social disturbances that had helped to further depopulation among the “friendly” tribes a decade earlier, although these were less severe in the King Country, because the Government prohibited private purchase of land and the sale of liquor.

		The Land Claims Ordinance of 1841 saw the appointment of a British barrister, Land Claim Commissioner Spain, to hear disputes regarding land purchases from the maori prior to 1840 and he began his task of hearing claims for land title in December 1841.
		Together, the Land Claim Commissioners were responsible for the dismissal and reduction of many of the outrageous claims presented, including the claim of the New Zealand Company, where Colonel Wakefield believed he had purchased some 20 million acres of land on the North and South Islands on the companies behalf in 1840.

	The Trail Of Waitangi - The Causes of Many Land Wars in New Zealand.
		They found themselves in a position of having to acquaint themselves with native land customs, procedures, and rights to ownership, and had to make sure that any transaction was properly sealed, for they knew with time, that any Government would challenge their acquisition to test its validity.
		The result was soon apparent, for their passion for cheap land was quickly taken advantage of by the natives, who began offering land with bad title for any price that the Government thought proper to give.
		With regards the land purchases made by the old settlers for occupation, the land ownership proved secure and stood the test of time; while those by the Govemment, in many areas of the North Island involved a succession of disturbances, and sometimes the use of armed forces.

		America's bases in the Philippines played a vital role during the Vietnam War, and after the fall of South Vietnam in 1975, they served as a counterweight to the Soviet naval base in Cam Ranh Bay.
		But Marcos stubbornly refused to concede defeat, even as senior members of his military defected and thousands of unarmed Filipinos took to the streets in an unprecedented display of "people power." The tense standoff ended when, at the urging of the United States, Marcos stepped down and went into exile.
