The British took control of French territories around the Great Lakes after the conclusion of the French and Indian Wars. A few years later, the Chief of Ottawa called Pontiac declared war on the British, and put Fort Detroit under siege. The Pontiac War lasted three years before a truce was reached in 1766 between the British and native tribes.

EXPLANATION:

  • The Pontiac War was a rebellion against British rule by Native American tribes. It was established in '1763' by a few tribes, mostly from the Great Lakes, the Illinois Country, and Ohio country. The reason for the war was that the British politics of the region were not happy with these tribes. Warriors from other tribes joined the uprising, helping to drive out English soldiers and colonizers.
  • The war was named after Odawa chief Pontiac, the leading figure in the dispute of many indigenous peoples. The war started in 'May 1763', when Americans invaded many British fortresses and colonies. They struck because they were annoyed by British General Jeffrey Amherst's policies.
  • Eight forts had been lost, thousands have been killed or captured by colonists. A lot of people have fled the area. Following expeditions by the British Army in '1764', the war ended in the ensuing two years thru peace negotiations. The Native Americans were unable to push the British away, but the rebellion led to a change in the policies triggering the war.
