Francuski i irokeški ratovi: razlika između inačica

[[1610.]], Champlain and his arquebus-wielding French companions helped the [[Algonquins]] and Hurons defeat a large Iroquois raiding party. In [[1615.]], Champlain joined a Huron raiding party and took part in the siege of an Iroquois town, probably among the [[Onondagas]]. The siege ultimately failed, and Champlain was injured in the attempt.

 

 

Some historians have argued that the wars were accelerated by the growing scarcity of the [[American Beaver|beaver]] in the lands controlled by the Iroquois in the middle 17th century. At the time of the conflict, the Iroquois inhabited a region of present-day [[New York]] south of [[Lake Ontario]] and west of the [[Hudson River]]. The Iroquois lands comprised an ethnic island, surrounded on all sides by Algonquian-speaking Nations, including the [[Shawnee]] to the west in the Ohio Country, as well as by [[Iroquoian]]-speaking Huron on the north along the St. Lawrence River, who were not part of the Iroquois Confederation.
