High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Queen Anne's War (1702?1713) was the second in a series of five French and Indian Wars fought between France and England (later Great Britain) in North America for control of the continent and was the counterpart of the War of the Spanish Succession in Europe. In addition to the two main combatants, the war also involved a number of American Indian tribes and Spain, which was allied with France. Early in the war, the Spanish attacked Charleston, South Carolina and were repulsed. In response, in the 1702 Siege of St. Augustine (1702), 500 English soldiers and militia along with 300 Indians captured and burned the town of St. Augustine in the Spanish province of Florida.
