King William's War, fought in America between 1689 and 1697, was the American phase of which European conflict?

AThe War of the Palatinate
BThe Spanish Succession war
CThe Austrian Succession war
DThe Seven Years' conflict
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. The War of the Palatinate
1. The colonial wars each mirrored a European struggle between England and France. 2. Between 1689 and 1697, King William's War was fought as the American phase of the War of the Palatinate. 3. Queen Anne's War corresponded to the War of the Spanish Succession, from 1702 to 1713. 4. King George's War, 1744 to 1748, paralleled the War of the Austrian Succession. 5. Each distractor therefore matches a different colonial war, not this one. _Source: "An Outline of American History" (USIA, 1990, public domain), Ch 2 "The War of Independence"_
