__**Major Events-**__

//**King William's War**// and //**Queen Anne's War**// are two different wars but they were fought for the same reasons. The fight over territory was huge during this time, but America wasn't worth sending troops to fight for it so the local colonists created a guerrilla-like war. In the end the Treaty of 1713 gave the English Acadia (Nova Scotia)and limited trading rights with Spanish-America.

//**War of Jenkins' Ear**// started between the English and Spanish but grew to a larger scale and changed its name to //**King George's War**//. This time the English had support from Britain, which helped them overtake the impregnable fortress of Louisbourg. Unfortunately, the Treaty of 1748 gave the fortress back to the French.

The //**French a**////**n**////**d Indian War**// began with Washington's battle with the French in Ohio. After his loss, the British government summoned an intercolonial congress in Albany to unite the colonies. After many struggles captured Louisbourg again in 1758, as well as Quebec in 1759 and Montreal in 1760. This would be the last time that French flags would fly on American ground.
