The first European to arrive in Aotearoa in 1642 was Abel Tasman. He named the land Neuveau Zelandia. The next explorer that arrived in Aotearoa in 1769 was James Cook. Tu Paia was the first navigator to help the explorers. The explorers brought diseases with them and also pigs, rats and potatoes. Muskets were guns that they fought with. The musket wars ended in 1840. Maori outnumbered Pakeha 40 to 1.
