British colonization of the Americas (including colonization sponsored by the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland before the 1707 Acts of Union created the Kingdom of Great Britain) began in the late 16th century and reached its peak when colonies had been established throughout the Americas and a protectorate had been established over the Kingdom of Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean.

This British colonization caused dramatic upheaval among the indigenous civilizations in the Americas, both indirectly through British military force and directly through cultural disruption and introduced diseases. Many of the indigenous societies had developed a warrior class and a long history of warfare to such an extent that they were able to withstand the technologically superior British force as seen in the French-Indian War, Pontiac's Rebellion, and countless raids against unprotected and isolated settlements.
