Military history of Vermont
The military history of Vermont covers the military history of the American state of Vermont, as part of French colonial America; as part of Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New York during the British colonial period and during the French and Indian Wars; as the independent New Connecticut and later Vermont during the American Revolution; and as a state during the War of 1812 and the American Civil War.
In 1666, Fort Sainte Anne was established as the first permanent European settlement, by the French, at Isle La Motte, Vermont. This was done to protect Canada from the Iroquois.
==Pre-revolutionary battles==
At the time of the arrival of Europeans early in the 17th century, the territory of Vermont was not permanently settled. It was treated as a hunting ground by several Indian tribes including the Iroquois and Abenaki. These Indian nations regularly fought each other in this area. Zadock Thompson wrote ''several powerful tribes who were incessantly at war with each other, it became the bloody theatre of their battles.'' Then, when the English and French settled North America, the area became a battleground between these colonial powers and their Indian allies.〔(Gathering and Interactions of Peoples, Cultures, and Ideas Native Americans in Vermont: the Abenaki by Elise A. Guyette Flow of History c/o Southeast Vermont Community Learning Collaborative )〕 In King William's War and Queen Anne's War raiding parties crossed the territory to attack targets in New England and New France. These notably included the 1704 Raid on Deerfield, Massachusetts, and the 1708 Raid on Haverhill, Massachusetts, both conducted by combined French and Indian forces departing from the Saint Lawrence River valley.
