Third Anglo-Powhatan War (18 mar 1644 año – 1 oct 1646 año)

Descripción:

A third conflict between the Powhatan Confederacy and the colonists of Virginia. Afraid of the increased expansion of English land, Powhatan forces led by Opechancanough launched a desperate attack against the colonists, killing roughly 500. The colonists retaliated, attacking the Powhatan and their allies in July 1644, followed by an attack on the Powhatan stronghold. Opechancanough was captured and killed, and the Powhatan Confederacy along with him. The war ended with the Treaty of 1846, which made the Native American tribes under the Powhatan Confederacy subjects of the English Crown, as well as marking a boundary between the Virginia colony and the Native American settlements (marked by the red line in the image).
