Detailed explanation-1: -Contents. King Philip’s War-also known as the First Indian War, the Great Narragansett War or Metacom’s Rebellion-took place in southern New England from 1675 to 1676. It was the Native Americans’ last-ditch effort to avoid recognizing English authority and stop English settlement on their native lands.
Detailed explanation-2: -King Philip’s War was fought between colonists in Massachusetts and Connecticut and the Wampanoag Indians led by Metacom and their allies, the Nipmuck and Narragansett Indians. Metacom was called King Philip by the colonists.
Detailed explanation-3: -The underlying cause of the war was the colonists unrelenting desire for more and more land, but the immediate cause for its outbreak was the trial and execution of three of Metacom’s men by the colonists.
