1670 CE

The Iroquois, having established peace with the French, return to their westward conquest in their continued attempt to take control of all the land between the Algonquin-speakers and the French.

In the Ohio Country, where the Shawnee and Miami tribes dominate, the Iroquois quickly overrun Shawnee holdings in central Ohio forcing them to flee into Miami territory.

The Miami are a powerful tribe and bring together a confederacy of their neighboring allies including the Potawatomi and the Illinois tribe who inhabit modern Michigan and Illinois.

The majority of the fighting is between this Anishinaabeg Confederacy and the Iroquois Confederacy.
