Description
William Massey oversaw the dispatch of a hundred thousand New Zealanders, including his own sons, to the battlefields of World War I. Poised between loyalty to the Empire and its own interests, New Zealand gained a mandate over Western Samoa at Versailles — and then began to consider its own autonomy.
