Population Change of Maori and Europeans in 1836 - 1901

In social studies we have been doing a line graph about the population of Maori and Europeans in 1836 to 1901. Base on the data that we've used to create our graph, we saw that the Maori population decrease every year and the Europeans population increase. I used spreadsheet to use my graph because it's easier if I do it there. 

What does the graph shows us?
The graph that we've made shows that population of Maori and European people from 1836 to 1901. It also shows us that Maori population decrease but European population  increase. 

Why do you think number of Maori's population decreased and European's population increased?  During this time, Maori's population started to decreased because of the colonization of Europeans in the country. Also, Maori people were exposed to many different diseases such as tuberculosis and influenza. Lastly, there are wars between Maori themselves which makes the population decrease. Talking about the Europeans population, there are more Europeans who discover the land and war between the Maori people and Europeans happened which makes there population increase.
