Answer 1

The initial cause of the Anglo-Powhatan Wars was primarily due to c. English settlement on the Chesapeake. The expansion of English settlers into Powhatan territory led to tensions and conflicts over land and resources, ultimately resulting in the wars. While factors such as the theft of resources and personal relationships between individuals played a role, it was the encroachment of English settlements that set the stage for these conflicts.
