Detailed explanation-2: -However, some Indian tribes allied with the British, including the Iroquois Confederacy (made up of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora people) along with some other tribes. Though the war seesawed back and forth, the British were ultimately victorious and defeated the French.
Detailed explanation-3: -While many Native Americans fought with the British, battles on the frontiers involved very few professional British soldiers.
