King Philip's War (20 jun 1675 ano – 12 abr 1678 ano)

Descrição:

Primarily caused by tension between the white colonists and the Native Americans, King Philip's War was an armed conflict in 1675–78 between Indian inhabitants of New England and New England colonists and their Indian allies. The war is named for Metacomet, the Wampanoag chief who adopted the name Philip because of the friendly relations between his father Massasoit and the Mayflower Pilgrims.

The ultimate victory of the settlers allowed for unimpeded colonial expansion throughout the region.
