Why was a Treaty needed in New Zealand?

 There were 200 whalers left they spent months and time at sea. When the whalers go to the port of New Zealand called Russell they behaved badly they got drank.

The treaty was to protect the missionaries when something happens. So people can come together can get to know each other.

The musket wars were in the 90th-century war there were 20000 people killed in the musket war. They did a trade which means the musket given the Maori muskets guns and Maori gave muskets food.

The declaration of independence was 5 years before the treaty was placed. 34 north chiefs signed the treaty.

It would protect anyone who signed the treaty.
