Indians at War, 1754-1763:
Various Indian groups joined the battle, most for the French but many for the British. Others remained neutral.
American Indians had complex interrelationships with European powers. The Iroquois were staunch British allies. Their rivals, the Huron and Algonquin, allied themselves with the French. Indians saw the alliances as a way to play the Europeans against each other and against rival Indians in order to protect their own interests and autonomy. |
