In 1688, [[King William's War]] began and the English and Iroquois launched a major assault on New France, after many years of small skirmishes throughout the English and French territories. New France and the [[Wabanaki Confederacy]] were able to thwart New England expansion into Acadia, whose border New France defined as the [[Kennebec River]] in southern Maine.<ref name=Williamson>{{cite book |first=William Durkee |last=Williamson |title=The history of the state of Maine |volume=II |publisher=Glazier, Masters & Co |date=1832 |page=27 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=670rAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA27}}</ref><ref name=Griffiths>{{cite book |last=Griffiths |first=N.E.S. |title=From Migrant to Acadian |publisher=McGill-Queen's University Press |date=2005 |page=61 |isbn=978-0-7735-2699-0 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cG4wSmIlziYC&pg=PA61}}</ref><ref name=Campbell>{{cite book |last=Campbell |first=William Edward |title=The Road to Canada: The Grand Communications Route from Saint John to Quebec |publisher=Goose Lane Editions and The New Brunswick Heritage Military Project |date=2005 |page=21 |isbn=978-0-8649-2426-1}}</ref> [[King William's War]] ended in 1697, but a second war ([[Queen Anne's War]]) broke out in 1702. Quebec survived the English invasions of both these wars, and during the wars France seized many of the English [[Hudson's Bay Company]] fur trading centres on [[Hudson Bay]] including [[York Factory]], which the French renamed ''Fort Bourbon''.
