1817: First Seminole War
🇺🇸

The exact start date of the conflict is somewhat disputed amongst historians but the consensus is that the conflict began on November 21, 1817 when the United States attacked the Seminole village of Fowltown in Georgia. On March 15, 1818, Andrew Jackson and his army of roughly 4,000 entered Spanish controlled territory to pursue the Seminoles marking the first intrusion into Spanish territory during the war. In Florida, Jackson led a campaign against the Seminoles resulting in numerous deaths as described below.
