Conflicts in Nova Scotia, 1749–1755
The conflicts in Nova Scotia, 1749–1755, were a series of escalating guerrilla campaigns in British-claimed Nova Scotia (then including present-day New Brunswick), beginning with the founding of Halifax in 1749 and ending with the British capture of Fort Beauséjour in June 1755. The conflicts were associated with Mi'kmaq and Wolastoqiyik resistance to British settlement on unceded territory, and the breakdown of Acadian neutrality under British demands for an unconditional oath of allegiance. The conflicts led directly to the Expulsion of the Acadians, which began in September 1755. France supported the Mi'kmaq and Acadian resistance, connecting the conflicts to the wider Anglo-French rivalry.
