King George's War (1744-1748) was the third great colonial conflict fought in North America between Great Britain and France, each side aided by their respective Native American allies. Like the previous two major colonial wars, it coincided with a larger European conflict – the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-1748) – though it had its own origins unique to the political turmoil of Colonial America.
