Fear of British troops

Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In 1846 Maori in both Whanganui and Northland had developed an irrational rear of British troops. It was outside their frame of reference to acknowledge that a group of men could be full time "warriors" as this was totally alien to Maori practice where warriors were very much part time (normally). 1846 was the first year that significant numbers of British troops arrived in NZ. Reports from the north had indicated that the British soldier was both well equipped and incredibly brave-continuing to fight hard even while taking serious losses.They also feared the intense discipline and unity of the soldiers which was very differrnt to Maori society where each war group followed it own whim in battle.There was strong practical basis for this fear as it meant that Btritish soldiers could keep on fighting vitually endlessly because of their supply train. Also the soldiers weapons were vastly superior with the latest muzzle loaders with bayonets and fine grain gunpowder. Maori had yet to learn that there were ways of incorporating their own traditional fighting skills into a set of tactics and strategies that the British and later NZ forces would find frustrating. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.58.185.98 (talk) 22:23, 25 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
