Around 950 AD the Maori tribes arrived from Polynesia and settled in the northern part of the North Island. Abel Janszoon Tasman, a Dutch sailor, was the first European that visited New Zealand in December 1642. In 1769-70 Captain James Cook reached this land. The first European settlements were offshoots of the American and Australian whaling industry from 1790 onwards. In 1839 - 1841, New Zealand was a part of the New South Wales colony. After long fighting, in 1860 British troops overcame Maori resistance to the British administration and land use. In 1907 New Zealand became a dominion of the British Empire and in 1931 it was granted autonomy by the Statute of Westminster, which was formally accepted in 1947.
