Which event started the Pequot war

1 answer:

4 0

On July 20, 1636, a trader named John Oldham was attacked on a trading voyage to Block Island. He and several of his crew were killed and his ship was looted by Narragansett-allied Indians who sought to discourage English settlers from trading with Pequot rivals. In the weeks that followed, colonial officials from Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, assumed the Narragansett were likely culprits. Puritan officials became equally suspicious of the Narragansett. The colonial English response to Oldham's death, the last in a series of escalating incidents, has traditionally been viewed as the beginning of the Pequot War. SO in he end It was Oldham's death that caused the Pequot War.

How did hitler attack Britain?

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Hitler conducted Air raids on military bases, especially the Royal Air Force(RAF) bases. This would allow Hitler to gain Air and Sea superiority over the English Channel, letting him launch his blitzkrieg and taking over Britain easily. However, after Churchill ordered a bombing on Berlin, Hitler changed his target from military bases to London civilians targets. Even though tens of thousands were killed in London, this allowed the RAF to rebuild itself and regain Air superiority over the English Channel.
