Polynesians first migrated to New Zealand around 1300. In 1642, Dutch explorer Abel Tasman was the first European to arrive, naming the land New Zealand after his native province, but hostile Māori prevented disembarkation. In 1769, British Captain James Cook began European colonization. In 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi made New Zealand a British colony, though a subsequent 30-year Māori land war broke out. New Zealand gained women's suffrage in 1893 and independence in 1947, becoming the first nation to grant women the right to vote.
