Detailed explanation-1: -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: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -At some point after establishing themselves as the dominant interstellar race in the Milky Way, the Protheans encountered a hostile machine intelligence. In order to deal with the threat, the Protheans subjugated other organic, sentient beings and enlisted their forces in what was called the Metacon War.
Detailed explanation-4: -After his wife and son were captured, Metacom fled to his secret headquarters at Mount Hope in Rhode Island, where he was killed in August 1676. He was hanged, beheaded, drawn and quartered, with his head placed on a spike and displayed at Plymouth Colony for two decades.
Detailed explanation-5: -Why might the English government have wanted to know what caused King Philip’s War? It would be important for the English government to have an enquiry about their valuable colonies. They don’t want a war unless its last resort.
