Native Americans primarily fought against English settlers during the Powhatan Wars, which took place in Virginia in the early 17th century. The conflicts were largely between the Powhatan Confederacy, led by Chief Powhatan, and the English colonists in Jamestown. Tensions arose over land encroachments, resource competition, and cultural clashes. The wars included several skirmishes and significant battles, notably the Anglo-Powhatan Wars from 1610 to 1646.
These are the Anglo-Powhatan Wars.
Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in North America, experienced several conflicts during its early years, particularly with Indigenous peoples. The most notable conflicts were the Anglo-Powhatan Wars, which included the First Anglo-Powhatan War (1609-1614) and the Second Anglo-Powhatan War (1622-1632). These wars were primarily driven by competition for land and resources as English settlers expanded their territory. The Third Anglo-Powhatan War (1644-1646) marked the decline of the Powhatan Confederacy and solidified English dominance in the region.
Wars that occurred in the 1700's were the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War.

The Powhatan Wars were a series of conflicts between English colonists in Virginia and the Powhatan Confederacy, primarily over land and resources. The first war (1609-1614) was sparked by English expansion and encroachments on Native American territory, while the second war (1622-1632) arose after a surprise attack by the Powhatan, who sought to resist colonial encroachment. The conflicts ultimately led to significant loss of life and territory for the Powhatan, culminating in their diminished power and influence in the region.
