Fifth French and Indian War
This, the last of the French and Indian Wars, was fought primarily by the white instigators for control of the region between the St. Lawrence and Massachusetts. Anishinabe soldiers still controlled that region in 1750. The region is made up of the land south of the St. Lawrence in Quebec, and included the Gaspe region, northern New York, Maine, New Brunswick, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Other goals of the white confederation (the English and French and the other white nations in that confederation) were to establish trading posts among the Anishinabe people in the New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania region, and to expand their settlements in what is now the southeastern United States. In 1752, the whites enticed some southern Anishinabe people (the Miami) to allow for the construction of a trading post in southern Ohio. Once the principle ogimak of the Anishinabe Nation learned of the Miami Anishinabek willingly allowing the whites to build a trading post in Anishinabe country, they responded by sending a force of Anishinabe soldiers to the trading post at Pickawillingly. They destroyed the trading post, and killed up to 25 Miami Anishinabek, and a few whites in the trading post at the time. It started the last of the French and Indian Wars.
Afterwards, the English and French again requested from both Anishinabek and the Iroquois, to be allowed to build trading posts in the western New York region, western Pennsylvania region, and eastern Ohio. Some of their requests were granted. It greatly infuriated the Anishinabe Nation, who obviously looked upon those Anishinabe people who refused to adhere to the Anishinabe policy of preventing white expansion, and those Iroquois who began to openly side with the whites. In 1754, a large force of white soldiers led by Braddock was annihilated by a smaller force of Anishinabe soldiers. The battle is known as the Battle of the Monongahela. Nearly 1,000 white soldiers were killed and wounded in that battle. News of the Anishinabe victory over the whites, forced those Anishinabek who started to become friendly towards the whites, to wake up and once again obey the government of the Anishinabe Nation. The Anishinabe victory at Monongahela did not stop the English and French from building new fortifications ever more westwards. Anishinabe ogimak responded by sending their brave soldiers to those newly built white fortifications to destroy them.
At the same time, Anishinabe ogimak ordered their brave soldiers to launch massive military campaigns against those white settlers who dared to follow behind the white military forces which built the new white fortifications, and commence to farming. In the matter of a couple of years, up to 5,000 to 10,000 white settlers had been killed or captured. Those who escaped fled back to their eastern fortified settlements. These Anishinabe military campaigns against the whites settlers, were carried out from Quebec to South Carolina. The whites (English and French) eventually started to focus more on the region between the St. Lawrence and Massachusetts. Many an Indian and white were killed in the battles for control of the region between the St. Lawrence and Massachusetts. Anishinabe soldiers were ordered to attack the fortified French settlements along the St. Lawrence and they did so with a venegeance. Anishinabe attacks on French settlements were so intense it led to large numbers of English soldiers and other white soldiers from Europe, being sent to the Quebec region, to save the French Colony of Quebec.
By 1760, the white confederation had shipped in 10,000s of their soldiers to the Quebec region and eventually defeated the Anishinabe military for control of the French Colony of Quebec. They also brought the region between the St. Lawrence and Massachusetts under their control. Back in the Great Lakes region, Anishinabe soldiers prepared for the expected white invasion into that region to occur. That occurred in 1763. Under Pontiac's leadership, large numbers of Anishinabe soldiers launched military campaigns against the few white forts in the Michigan region, and the many others in the New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania region. They brought all except two under their control. Anishinabe soldiers had also killed up to 2,000 white settlers at the same time. During the previous year (1762), Pontiac ordered large numbers of Anishinabe soldiers to invade the Florida region. They quickly defeated the Spanish and drove them out. Anishinabe soldiers followed them to Cuba and defeated the Spanish of Cuba in the same year of 1762. The whites once again requested for a peace which Anishinabe ogimak agreed to, after the massive 1762-1763 Anishinabe military campaigns achieved their goals. The whites may have brought the region between the St. Lawrence and Massachusetts under their control but they were still confined to the same general area in eastern North America, they had been since 1700.
