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:

    “But, after the war was over, just think what came to pass—
    A letter, sir; and the two were safe back in the old Bluegrass.
    The lad had got across the border, riding Kentucky Belle;
    And Kentuck she was thriving, and fat, and hearty, and well;
    He cared for her, and kept her, nor touched her with whip or spur:
    Ah! we’ve had many horses, but never a horse like her!”
    —Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840–1894)
