<entity_0> (also known as the North <entity_4> War) was an armed <entity_5> over land ownership and sovereignty that took place between Māori and the <entity_2> Government in the <entity_4> district of <entity_2>'s North Island from <entity_3> to <entity_1>. The term "<entity_0>" is opposed by some historians, who refer only to the <entity_4> Wars, rejecting suggestions that post-1861 <entity_5> was a second war. Although the pressure for the sale of the block resulted from the colonists' hunger for land in <entity_4>, the greater issue fuelling the <entity_5> was the Government's desire to impose British administration, law and civilisation on the Māori as a demonstration of the substantive sovereignty the British believed they had gained in the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi. A ceasefire was formally effected on <entity_1>, ending the first phase of the <entity_4> War.
