Question

What led to King Philip’s War?

Answer 1

The correct option is D

The so-called war of King Philip or the war of King Philip was a violent conflict that took place between 1675 and 1678 between the settlers arrived in North America and Indians who lived what was formerly known as New England, now the United States.

The Wampanoag Indians welcomed and helped the Pilgrims, the first settlers, to survive a winter for which they were not prepared. Their coexistence was peaceful at first, but the continued arrival of European settlers and their expansion into the interior of the continent, led them to invade more and more Indian lands. This began to cause continuous confrontations, until in 1675 the conflict that would be definitive was unleashed: the war of King Philip. Philip was the Christian name of the head of the Wampanoag, Metacomet. The settlers referred to the Indian chiefs as king. Philip was captured by the English. He became ill and died while he was captive. His death provoked the wrath of the natives.
