New Zealand: Discovery And Facts About The Land Of Kiwis

New Zealand is the land of Kiwifruits and Kiwi Birds. Find all about this beautiful country in the following blog.

History of New Zealand:

New Zealand is the surface land of the Zealandia continent, and it constitutes 600 Islands. Although, its major Islands are North and South.
New Zealand can be termed as the land of recent times since it was initially inhabited by Maoris (around 800 AD).
In modern-days, people found out Nova Zeelandia when the dutch sailor Abel Tasman landed here in 1642.
Soon after, in 1840, the British encroached the land and declared it a British Sovereign.

This declaration resulted in a gruesome war between the Maoris and the British, Uprooting the Maoris from their native land.
The Blackcaps and we Indians share a relationship of the brotherhood as both the nations freed themselves from British Practice on our Nations in 1947.
With a tint of sadness, the first inhabitants in the newly found land of kiwis were the minority in the same.

Modern-day New Zealand:

New Zealand evolved at a rapid pace, in comparison to any newly developed or inhabited land.
One of its primary achievements includes becoming the first nation in the world to declare sign-language as one of its official languages.
The First Homosapien to scale the gigantic Mt. Everest, Mr Edmund Hillary was a New Zealander with high hopes and spirits.

The reason for widespread industrialisation in the world, Nuclear Energy, was discovered by Mr Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealander and also the Nobel prize winner.
Ironically, New Zealand is a nation which discourages setting up nuclear power plants on the mainland and has a nuclear reactor 60-miles away from its shore.

Being a tech-savvy nation, New Zealand is also a land of nature. It is the native of flightless birds, Kiwis, and also home to the world’s most heavy insect, Wetter Bug.
Apart from all this, New Zealand is one of the most liberal nations as well. It identifies same-sex marriages and prostitution as decriminalised activities.
And here we would love to add a bit more to the charm to our love for this nation: New Zealand was also the 1st nation in the world to allow voting to all adult women in the year 1893.

Ah! Who does not wish to be called a New Zealander, eh?

Like, if you want to live the longest–New Zealand it is!

The place also has the highest life expectancy rates in the world!

Darn, Gawd! A Utopia we all wish to be part of, indeed.
