In the largest action during King William’s War (the American phase of the War of the Grand Alliance) colonial militia under Sir William Phips surprised the French at Port Royal in Acadia (modern Nova Scotia). The port fell after a short siege though Phips failed against Quebec. Port Royal was retaken the following year and was retained by France at the war’s end.
