This List of Colonial American Wars includes military conflicts involving the Thirteen Colonies and their predecessor colonies from 1701 till 1774. It covers the colonies that joined them prior to the American Revolution and the colonies' Independence in 1776 (for example the Plymouth Colony merged with Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1691 and the Saybrook Colony merged with Connecticut Colony in 1644). These would include the New England Colonies, Chesapeake Colonies, Middle Colonies, and the Southern Colonies, as well as in the British-controlled Ohio Country and Illinois Country.
There are 20 military conflicts in this list, excluded are all conflicts involving other British territories in British America that did not become part of the United States.
While this list is related to the wars involving the United States, it serves as a historical prequel in that it focuses on the colonies and territories that would later make up the United States. As such the criteria will be similar and different in several respects.
