Final answer:

King George's War (1744-1748) began as a result of tensions between Britain, France, and Spain in their colonies and the use of Indian allies by French traders to fight English colonists.

Step-by-step explanation:

King George's War (1744-1748), also known as the War of Austrian Succession (1740-1748), began in the northern colonies and New France. It was sparked by events in British Georgia and Spanish Florida, where tensions between Britain, France, and Spain remained high. The war did not start because of the American colonists reaching the Ohio territory or any attempt to capture St. Augustine. It was primarily a conflict between the French and English traders who used Indian allies to fight each other.
