King William's War




King William's War started when William III Of England joined the League Of Augsburg against France. The war saw attacks by France and its Indian allies on British frontier settlements, most notably the Schenectady Massacre of 1690. The British Failed To Seize Quebec City , and the French commander there attacked the British-held coast. The Treaty Of Ryswick in 1697 was supposed to end the war, but peace did not last long, and shortly the colonies were embroiled in the next of the French and Indian Wars, Queen Anne's War ( 17021713 ).
