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:

    “In peace the sons bury their fathers, but in war the fathers bury their sons.”
    —Croesus (d. c. 560 B.C.)
