The two wars you are referring to are part of the conflicts between the English settlers at Jamestown and the Powhatan Confederacy, led by Chief Powhatan and his successors. 1. **The First Anglo-Powhatan War (1609-1614)**: This conflict arose due to increasing tensions between the English colonists at Jamestown and the Native American Powhatan Confederacy. The hostilities included attacks and counter-attacks from both sides. The war ended in 1614 with the marriage of Pocahontas, the daughter of Chief Powhatan, to the English settler John Rolfe, which helped to momentarily establish peace. 2. **The Third Anglo-Powhatan War (1644-1646)**: This was the final and most devastating conflict between the Powhatan Confederacy and the English settlers. It started in 1644 under the leadership of Chief Powhatan's brother, Opechancanough, who launched a coordinated attack on the English settlements. The conflict ultimately ended in 1646 with the defeat of the Powhatan Confederacy and the capture and eventual death of Opechancanough. These wars were part of the broader struggle between Native American tribes and European settlers during the colonial period of American history.
