Taranaki War

There have been two conflicts known as the Taranaki War:

  • The First Taranaki War (1860–1861)
  • The Second Taranaki War (1864–1866)

Both conflicts are so named because they took place in the Taranaki region, on the North Island of New Zealand. A third conflict, Titokowaru's War (1868 – 1869) also took place in Taranaki.

Famous quotes containing the word war:

    “Long accustomed to the use of European manufactures, [the Cherokee Indians] are as incapable of returning to their habits of skins and furs as we are, and find their wants the less tolerable as they are occasioned by a war [the American Revolution] the event of which is scarcely interesting to them.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
