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:

    “The Revolution was effected before the War commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations.... This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution.”
    —John Adams (1735–1826)
