The Struggle for Acadia and New France; "Queen Anne's War."%--In 1697 the war ended with the treaty of Ryswick, and "King William's War" came to a close in America with nothing gained and much lost on each side.

The peace, however, did not last long, for in 1701 England and France were again fighting.

As William died in 1702, and was succeeded by his sister-in-law Anne, the struggle which followed in America was called "Queen Anne's War." Again Port Royal was captured (1710); again an expedition went against Quebec and failed (1711); and again, year after year, the French and Indians swept along the frontier of New England, burning towns and slaughtering and torturing the inhabitants.
At last the treaty of Utrecht, in 1713, ended the strife, and the first signs of English conquest in America were visible, for the French gave up Acadia and acknowledged the claims of the English to Newfoundland and the country around Hudson Bay.

The name Acadia was changed by the conquerors to Nova Scotia.

Port Royal, never again to be parted with, they called Annapolis, in honor of the Queen.[1] [Footnote 1: Read Parkman's _A Half-century of Conflict_, Vol.
