King Philip's War and Its Impact on Colonial New England

The video discusses the events leading up to and during King Philip's War, a conflict between English colonists and Native American tribes in New England from 1675 to 1676. Tensions arose as the Plymouth Colony expanded, leading to demands on the Wampanoag tribe. The war began when the Wampanoag, led by King Philip, refused to surrender their weapons and allied with other tribes. The conflict escalated as the English allied with the Mohawk tribe and attacked the Narragansett. The war ended with the capture and execution of King Philip, resulting in significant Native American casualties and the expansion of English control in New England.
