description: Pontiacs War erupted in the Great Lakes region of North America just as the French and Indian War came to a close in 1763. The French who had initially established a European presence there were usurped by the British whose relations with indigenous peoples were notoriously less diplomatic and more destructive. As a result a Native American chief named Pontiac helped lead a coalition against the British. The outcome of Pontiacs War was not what either side intended but it nevertheless helped shape the history of the region for decades to come.Discover a plethora of topics such asThe History of British North AmericaPrelude to WarThe Siege of Fort DetroitThe War EscalatesThe Battle of Bushy RunThe End of Pontiacs WarAnd much more!
