New Zealand


The British colony of New Zealand became an independent dominion in 1907 and supported the UK militarily in both World Wars.  New Zealand withdrew from a number of defense alliances during the 1970s and 1980s.  In recent years the government has sought to address longstanding native Maori grievances.
