I te 1 Hanuere 1901 ka whakakotahi ngā koroni e ono o Ahitereiria hei whenua whai kāwanatanga ā-rohe, ka kīia te kāhui nei ko te Kotahitanga o Ahitereiria. I roto i tana kaupapa taketake hou, ka whakaritea he tūru mō Aotearoa, ko ia hei rohe whānui tuawhitu o te Kotahitanga, engari ka hoea e Aotearoa tēnei whakaaro.

Neke atu i te rima tekau tau i muri i te noho mai o te kāwanatanga noho haepapa tuatahi ki Aotearoa, ka kaha ake tana tū motuhake me tana tuakiri motuhake. Inā, ka mutu tana tū hei koroni o Peretānia Nui Tonu, ka riro hei tōminiana.

E whakapaetia ana i hipa ake te tokopae o Aotearoa i te kotahi miriona i te tau 1910. E ai ki te uiuinga whānui o te motu o te tau 1911, 1058313 te taupori i taua wā. Ina tirohia te wāwāhanga o ngā tatauranga, ka kitea kua tīmata kē te hūnuku a te tokomaha ki ngā tāone nui, noho ai. Ko tētahi 10% o te taupori e noho ana ki Tāmaki-makau-rau, ā, hui katoa, e 50% e noho ana ki tētahi tāone nui. Ka puta ake ngā māharahara mō te oranga pūmau o te ōhanga me te pai o te noho ki ngā tāone nei.

I rikarika tonu a Aotearoa ki te whai wāhi atu ki tēnei whawhai, hei āwhina i te ‘Wā Kāinga’, i Ingarangi. Ko tētahi 42% o ngā tāne i waenga i te 19 me te 45 tau te pakeke i uru ki te pakanga nei. He 10% tēnei o te taupori o Aotearoa.

Arā ētahi Māori kāore i tautoko i te whai wāhitanga atu a te iwi Māori ki ngā pakanga a tauiwi. Engari arā anō ētahi i hiahia tonu ki te uru atu. I ngā tau 1915-16, ka haere ētahi matua e toru o te karangatanga ‘Māori Pioneer’ ki Ihipa, engari ka noho whāiti ki ngā mahi whakangungu i ngā puni hōia. I te 26 Hune 1917, ka whakaaetia te uru mārire a te Māori ki ngā pakanga, ka mutu i āta whakamahia anō kia uru, pērā anō i ngā Pākehā. Ko te orokohanga ake tēnei o Te Hokowhitu a Tū. Heoi anō, he Pākehā tonu ngā rangatira o te hokowhitu nei.

1929 Te WĀ o te Korekore

He taramu e kī ana i te tamariki, me te pānui “kia 500 ngā tama ka whiwhi mahi i mua i te Kirihimete”, i te Tiriti o Wakefield, Te Whanga-nui-a-Tara, ca 1932.

Ka tirikohu te mākete hoko hea i Wall Street i Te Āporo Nui, ā, kāore i roa i muri mai, ka tirikohu anō ngā ōhanga o te Ao, tae atu ki tō Aotearoa. Mai i te tau 1928 ki te tau 1932, e 40% te heke o ngā utu i riro mai mō ngā taonga i hokona ki tāwāhi. Mō te hunga whiwhi mahi tonu, e 20% te heke o ā rātou whiwhinga pūtea tūturu. Ko ngā tau 1931-33 ngā tau tino kino, inā he tata ki te 80000 te hunga kore mahi (tētahi 12 ōrau o ngā tāngata katoa e tika ana kia whai mahi). Kāore i mutu tēnei āhua kia tuwhera rā anō te tāwaha o te riri i te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao i te tau 1939.

Te Hokowhitu a Tū e haka ana, i Ihipa, Egypt, 24 Hune 1941.

I rikarika anō a Aotearoa ki te āwhina i a Ingarangi, ā, 105000 ngā hōia i uru ki ngā whawhai i te tahatū o te rangi. He tata ki te hautoru o ēnei i hinga i te parekura, i taotū, i mauheretia rānei. Ka ara anō he hokowhitu Māori, ā, kei reira anō ōna kaitautoko me ōna kaiwhakahē o te iwi Māori. Hei tauira, kāore ngā mana o Waikato i tino hiahia kia uru ā rātou tāngata ki te pakanga, engari he tautoko tonu tā Te Tai Rāwhiti, Te Moana a Toi me Te Tai Tokerau. Hui katoa, 17000 ngā Māori i āta whakauru atu.

1947 Te tŪ motuhake tŪturu, taha tŌrangapŪ

Ko Thomas Kay Sidey. I te Whakarauikatanga Emepaea o te tau 1930, ka whiwhi whakaaetanga a Sidey kia kore ai a Aotearoa e taka ki raro i te Ture o Westminster kia whakamanahia rā anō te Ture e te Whare Pāremata o Aotearoa.

I te tau 1931, ka whakaaetia e te Whare Pāremata o Ingarangi te Ture o Westminster, i whakatūturutia ai te tū motuhake a ngā tōminana e ono i raro i tōna maru. Heoi, ka tōmuri a Ahitereiria me Aotearoa ki te whakatinana i tēnei āhua. Ko Aotearoa te mea tōmuri katoa, inā rā, 16 tau rawa i muri i te putanga o te ture, i te 25 Noema 1947, ka whakamanaia te Ture (Tono, Whakatinana) Whakahoutanga Kaupapa Taketake, i taea ai e Aotearoa te whakarerekē, te whakatārewa, te huripoki rānei i ētahi āhuatanga o tāna kaupapa taketake.
