New Zealand in the 20^th century

Beneath the Waves history/music series host Gerry Takano

New Zealand was the first country to give women the vote (1893) and to offer State pensions and state housing for workers.  Declining to join the Australian Federation in 1901, New Zealand became an independent 'dominion' in 1907. As part of the British Commonwealth, thousands of New Zealanders served and died overseas in the First World; the battle of Gallipoli in Turkey is regarded as a coming of age for the country.
