King Phillip's War, July 1675 to August 1675, was caused by the encroachment of white settlers on the Indian fishing and hunting grounds, and all central and southeastern New England was involved. It was led by and named for a son of Massasoit, Matacomet, who took the Christian name of Phillip, and ended by his death.
King William's War, 1689-1697, was an intercolonial war. Military enterprises were generally on a small scale, with raids in the enemy frontier and the burning of forts and towns. It ended with the treaty of Ruswick in 1697.
Queen Anne's War, 1701-1712, was the American part of the War of the Spanish Succession that was fought in Europe, and took place on the Carolina coast and in New England. An armistice occurred in America in October 1712.
King George's War, 1744-1748, was part of the struggle for control of the St. Lawrence and Mississippi basins and began when France and England declared war in the War of the Austrian Succession. New Englanders assembled troops and captured Louisburg on Cape Breton Island in 1745.
French and Indian War, 1754-1763, was part of the European Seven Years War and was the last of a long series of wars between France and England. Control of their colonies in North America was at stake and the peace of 1763 eliminated France from the area. The land between the Appalachians and the Mississippi and Canada was given to England, and Louisiana was given to Spain.
