1. Newfoundland (Queen Anne’s War)

Was the theatre of War in Newfoundland during Queen Anne’s War.

  • January 1709: Newfoundland's coast was dotted with small French and English communities, with some fishing stations occupied seasonally by fishermen from Europe. Both sides had fortified their principal towns, the French at Plaisance on the western side of the Avalon Peninsula, the English at St. John's on Conception Bay. In December 1708, a combined force of French, Canadian, and Mi'kmaq volunteers captured St. John's.
  • January 1710: In 1709, the French under the command of Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville abandoned St. John's due to lack of resources. The English then reoccupied and refortified the territory, solidifying their control over the region.

    • 2. Acadia and New England (Queen Anne’s War)

  • October 1710: In October 1710, 3,600 British and colonial forces led by Francis Nicholson finally captured Port Royal after a siege of one week. This ended official French control of the peninsular portion of Acadia.
