Their was something that needed to be settled in called Russell , Kororakoko. The reason why they needed a settlement  because that town was a drinking , party , unfair trading and prostitution. The reason why Te Tiriti O Waitangi was neglected because of the rats + water damage and fire. Their was something set up and it was the United Tribes of NZ. The British saw France as a treat but the French tried to set up a French colony.Their were company plans that were set up Edward Gibbion wakefield and his friends and the reason why they did this plan because so they can buy cheap land and sell it to the rich Maori.The reason why the British people send Hobson to set up the Waitangi because To have more orderly type of colonisation , to make everything fair.When they went take the treaty for them to sign only 500 people signed but some of them complained about it  that they want their land to be theirs and their was one problem that the Maoris  thought was the missonaires another.
