From the end of the 17th century to the beginning of the 19th century, Britain and France continued to compete in Europe, Asia, and America. After the Spanish Succession War broke out in 1701, the North American colonies also competed between Britain and France. At that time, Britain was under the rule of Queen Anne. The war between Britain and France in the North American colonies at this time was usually called the "Queen Anne War", which was essentially a war for colonies. In 1702, the French used the Indians in an attempt to retake the land, instructing the Indians to destroy the British colonial villages in New England, while the British invaded the French territory of Canada. In 1710, the British occupied Agadi and changed its name to Nova Scotia. In 1711, the British sent 9 warships and more than 60 troop carriers with 12,000 men to attack Quebec. At the same time, they sent a 2,300 army from New York. The Hudson River Valley went northward and went straight to Montreal. However, the army was prevented from advancing on Lake Simplon, and the warship ran aground in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The ship was lost and the remaining ships hurriedly returned to Britain. The British army was disadvantaged.
However, due to France’s disastrous defeat in Europe, the warring parties signed a peace treaty in Utrecht, the Netherlands, in April 1713. The British captured the North American Nova Scotia Peninsula and the coasts of Newfoundland and Hudson Bay from the French. local.
