Phillip of Anjou, the grandson of Louis XIV of France, accepted the Spanish crown. This worried Britain, Holland and Austria because they did not want France and Spain to unite and become very strong. '''North America''' *The French and Indians made sporadic raids along the New England borders. *The South Carolina militia destroyed the Spanish town of St. Augustine in Florida (1702). *The French and Spanish attacked Charlestown, South&nbsp;Carolina (1706). *British captured the French Port Royal in Acadia (now&nbsp;Nova Scotia) (1710). *British made unsuccessful attacks on Quebec and Montreal (1711). *Armistice was declared (1712). *Peace of Utrecht was signed (1713). '''Colonists''' During Queen Anne's War, many colonists served in local militias. Because these were local units and not part of the British Army, any surviving records are in historical societies, state libraries and archives. Most men who served in Queen Anne's War were between the ages of 16 and 60, born between 1642-1697, though some were born as early as 1632 or as late as 1701. '''The Peace Terms''' #Britain gained Newfoundland, the Hudson Bay area, and Nova Scotia.<br> #France kept control of New France, including Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island, and fishing rights in Newfoundland. === Records === To find indexes and records of Queen Anne's war, do a Place Search of the FamilySearch Catalog under the state and the topic of Military Records - Colonial Period. *{{FSC|2564150|item|disp=Samuel Adams Drake, ''The border wars of New England : commonly called King William's and Queen Anne's wars'' Reprinted from the edition of 1910, Charles Scribner's Sons, Williamstown, Massachusetts : Corner House, 1973.
