Detailed explanation-1: -Starting in 1640, there was an intermittent war fought over one of the most in demand, luxurious items in the world: beaver pelts. The war was fought between the Iroquois Confederacy of the St. Lawrence River area and the Algonquian-speaking tribes of the Ohio Country and the Great Lakes, who were backed by the French.
Detailed explanation-2: -The combination of guns and the cultural divide that resulted from the split of the Iroquois between the colonists and the British during the Revolutionary War brought down the Iroquois Confederacy.
Detailed explanation-3: -After their defeat, the British ceded Iroquois territory without consultation, and many Iroquois had to abandon their lands in the Mohawk Valley and elsewhere and relocate to the northern lands retained by the British.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Iroquois attacked the Huron in 1649 because the two peoples had long-standing animosities and had been involved in a conflict over lands and trade with Europeans. Traditionally, the Huron and Iroquois were rivals due to the close proximity they lived within.
