Years: 1645 - 1645
August
The united tribes have harassed settlers all across New Netherland for the past two years, killing sporadically and suddenly.
The sparse forces are helpless to stop the attacks, but the natives are kept too spread out to mount more effective strikes.
A truce is finally agreed upon in August 1645.
The war has been extremely bloody in proportion to the population at the time: more than sixteen hundred natives have been killed at a time when the European population of New Amsterdam is only two hundred and fifty.
