Significant clashes between the British and Native Americans in North America include the Pequot War (1636-1637), King Philip's War (1675-1676), and the French and Indian War (1754-1763). The Pequot War arose from competition over land and trade, leading to the near destruction of the Pequot tribe. King Philip's War resulted from Native resistance to colonial expansion, dramatically reducing Native populations and altering territorial control. The French and Indian War, fought between Britain and France with Native American allies on both sides, reshaped colonial boundaries and fueled resentment between British settlers and Indigenous peoples, setting the stage for future conflicts.
