The tide of war in New France…

1665 CE

The tide of war in New France had begun to turn in 1664 with the arrival of a small contingent of regular troops from France, the brown-uniformed Carignan-Salières Regiment—the first group of uniformed professional soldiers to set foot on present-day Canadian soil—with the orders "to carry war even to their firesides in order totally to exterminate them".

A change in administration leads the New France government to authorize direct sale of arms and other military support to their native allies.

The Dutch allies of the Iroquois in 1664 also had lost control of the New Netherland colony to the English in the south.

European support wanes for the Iroquois in the immediate years after the Dutch defeat.
