Around 3,000 people died and ⅔ of them were mario. The wars had been going on for around 20 years. 

• Some of my notes 

( My best notes ) Here are some of my notes that I wrote when I  was watching the video: 

1. The end of the wars in Waikato coincided with the rise of Maori prophet, a man who had been an early convert to christainity back in the 1830s but has experience fighting Paki hence had bad intentions over land made him question the teachings of the European missionaries in 1862.
2. The man had seen visions of an angel who told them that Maori were God's new chosen people; he preached that God would deliver the land taken by parkia back into Maori hands, The new rela was called Pai Maere.
3. Confiscated land basically theses British soldiers who were told  that so long as they could keep Maori off the land it would be theirs to keep.
