Queen Anne's War

When Europe's Succession Dispute Ignited American Frontiers

Definition

Queen Anne’s War (1702-1713) was the second major colonial conflict in North America, fought between the colonies of England – Great Britain after 1707 – and those of France and Spain, each side aided by their respective Native American allies. An extension of a larger European conflict, the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714), Queen Anne’s War had its own unique origins, stemming from the tempestuous politics of Colonial America.
