The sides fighting in the Pequot War (1636-1638) primarily included the Pequot tribe and an alliance of English colonists from the Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, and Connecticut colonies, along with their Native American allies such as the Mohegan and Narragansett tribes. The conflict arose over control of the lucrative fur trade in the region, as the Pequot sought to maintain their dominance, while the English colonists aimed to expand their settlements and economic interests. The war ultimately resulted in a devastating defeat for the Pequot, significantly reducing their population and influence.
