Hvornår gjorde franskmændene og irroquoiserne fred?

Den efterfølgende store fred i Montreal blev underskrevet i 1701 i Montreal af 39 indianske høvdinge og franskmændene. I traktaten indvilligede irokeserne i at holde op med at plyndre og tillade flygtninge fra De Store Søer at vende tilbage østpå. Shawneierne genvandt til sidst kontrollen over Ohio-området og den nedre Allegheny-floden. Miami-stammen vendte tilbage og overtog kontrollen med det moderne Indiana og det nordvestlige Ohio. Pottawatomie-stammen gik til Michigan, og Illinois-stammen gik til Illinois. Da hollænderne for længst var forsvundet fra Nordamerika, var englænderne blevet lige så magtfulde som franskmændene. Iroquoiserne kom til at indse, at de havde magtbalancen mellem de to europæiske magter, og de udnyttede denne position til deres fordel i de kommende årtier. Deres samfund begyndte hurtigt at ændre sig, da stammerne begyndte at fokusere på at opbygge en stærk nation, forbedre deres landbrugsteknologi og uddanne deres befolkning. Freden var varede ved, og det skulle ikke vare før 1720'erne, før deres territorium igen blev truet af europæerne.

The subsequent Great Peace of Montreal was signed in 1701 in Montreal by 39 Indian chiefs and the French. In the treaty, the Iroquois agreed to stop marauding and to allow refugees from the Great Lakes to return east. The Shawnee eventually regained control of the Ohio Country and the lower Allegheny River. The Miami tribe returned to take control of modern Indiana and north-west Ohio. The Pottawatomie went to Michigan, and the Illinois tribe to Illinois. With the Dutch long removed from North America, the English had become just as powerful as the French. The Iroquois came to see that they held the balance of power between the two European powers and they used that position to their benefit for the decades to come. Their society began to quickly change as the tribes began to focus on building up a strong nation, improving their farming technology, and educating their population. The peace was lasting and it would not be until the 1720s that their territory would again be threatened by the Europeans.
