The conflict between English settlers and Native Americans began with the arrival of the first English settlers in North America in the early 17th century. The English settlers were seeking new land and resources, while the Native Americans had been living on the land for thousands of years and saw the English as invaders.

The English settlers often took over Native American land without permission, leading to violent clashes between the two groups. The English also brought diseases that the Native Americans had no immunity to, leading to devastating epidemics that wiped out entire communities.

As the English population grew, they began to push further into Native American territory, leading to more conflicts. The Native Americans fought back, but were often outnumbered and outgunned by the English.

The conflict between the English settlers and Native Americans continued for centuries, with many battles and treaties signed between the two groups. The conflict ultimately led to the displacement and forced relocation of many Native American tribes, as well as the loss of their culture and way of life.
