Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As a result of the Battle of Fallen Timbers, the Indians signed the Treaty of Greenville in 1795, which ceded strategic areas, including Detroit, and control of most of the river crossings in the Old Northwest Territory to the United States. This essentially guaranteed U.S. domination over the Indian tribes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The U.S. victory ended major hostilities in the region.
