On Waitangi Day, the Treaty of Waitangi was signed, giving the British Empire sovereignty over New Zealand.
Disputes have arisen due to the version in Te Reo Maori (The language of the indigenous people of the country) stating that 'governorship' was to be given, not 'sovereignty.' This was due to a rather impatient British man who decided it wasn't worth waiting for the legislation to be accurately translated.
Every year, on the Sixth of February, Waitangi Day is held to commemorate this.
