Publications of the Newfoundland Museum - A Century of Armed Conflict __ From
the time Sir Humphrey Gilbert annexed Newfoundland to England in 1583 until Lt.
Col. Amherst's victory at Fort William, the island was in a perpetual defense
mode. This was partly because of its strategic position between Europe and the
New World, and partly becasuse of its rich fishing resources. This is an
excellent place from which to get the details of battles and conflicts. There is
