*King George’s War (1744–1748)*
King George’s War was the North American theater of the *War of Austrian Succession (1740–1748)**, fought mainly between **Britain and France* over colonial territories. It was the third of four French and Indian Wars in North America and took place primarily in **New England, New York, and Nova Scotia**.
#### *Causes of the War*
Tensions between *Britain and France* over territorial claims in **North America**.
Disputes over **trade routes and fishing rights**, particularly in **Nova Scotia and the Ohio Valley**.
European conflict: The war was part of the broader **War of Austrian Succession**, which involved multiple European powers.
#### *Major Events & Battles*
1. *French Raids on British Colonies (1744–1745)*
French and Native American forces *attacked British settlements* in New York and New England.
Fortifications were strengthened in key areas like **Albany, New York**, and **Boston, Massachusetts**.
2. *Capture of Louisbourg (1745)*
The most significant event of the war was *the British capture of the French fortress of Louisbourg* on *Cape Breton Island* (modern-day Canada).
A force of about *4,000 New England militia**, led by **William Pepperrell* and supported by the **British Royal Navy**, launched an attack on the **Fortress of Louisbourg**—a key stronghold protecting French Canada.
After **six weeks of siege**, the British forced the French to surrender.
3. *French Counterattacks & Naval Battles (1746–1747)*
