Mapping the World
Season 35 Episode 4 - New Zealand: A country that stands apart?
Rugby, kiwi, Maori culture, majestic mountains: many images come to mind when we think of New Zealand, but what do we really know about it? For example, did you know that it was the first country in history to grant women the right to vote? Or that there are five sheep for every inhabitant? Let's discover this curious country at the end of the world. New Zealand, a country at the antipodes of the Earth but with strongly European accents. Colonized by the British from the beginning of the 19th century, the archipelago only broke away from the tutelage of London in 1907. And even today, the country is a member of the Commonwealth and has Charles III as its sovereign. But New Zealand is also the Maori culture inherited from Pacific populations from Polynesia. On the geopolitical level, New Zealand tells the story of a pendulum movement between the West and Asia, and tries to take advantage of its position apart from the world.
