Volunteers invaded Parihaka.
In November 1881 more than 1,500 armed constabulary and volunteers invaded Parihaka. Te Whiti and Tohu were arrested, many houses were destroyed, and a large number of residents were forcibly evacuated. The invasion of Parihaka is often now considered part of the Taranaki wars.
