King George's War, 1744-48 .-- From 1713 until 1744 there was no war between the English and the French.

But in 1744 fighting began again in earnest.

The French and Indians attacked the New England frontier towns and killed many people.

But the New Englanders, on their part, won a great success.

After the French lost Acadia they built a strong fortress on the island of Cape Breton.
