New Zealand

It involves two fundamental landmasses—the North Island and the South Island — and around 600 littler islands, covering a complete territory of 268,021 square kilometers. New Zealand is around 2,000 kilometers (1,200 mi) east of Australia over the Tasman Sea and 1,000 kilometers (600 mi) south of the islands of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. The nation’s fluctuated geology and sharp mountain tops, including the Southern Alps, owe a lot to structural elevate and volcanic emissions. New Zealand’s capital city is Wellington, and its most crowded city is Auckland.

Attributable to their remoteness, the islands of New Zealand were the last enormous tenable terrains to be settled by people. Between around 1280 and 1350, Polynesians started to settle in the islands, and afterward built up a particular Māori culture. In 1642, Dutch voyager Abel Tasman turned into the primary European to locate New Zealand. In 1840, agents of the United Kingdom and Māori boss marked the Treaty of Waitangi, which pronounced British sway over the islands. In 1841, New Zealand turned into a province inside the British Empire and in 1907 it turned into a domain; it increased full legal freedom in 1947.
