The history topic I selected to research about is the battle of fallen timbers that is in the Native American history category. The battle of fallen timbers was a battle that showed and proved to people that delicate young republic is capable of countering a military threat when Shawnee Chief Blue Jacket\u2019s alliance was defeated by General Anthony Wayne (Bauman 2010). The battle of the fallen timbers took place in the 1794 on 20th August, this battle was the last major in the Northwest Territory that was an Indian war between the United States and the Native Americans. During the war the almost modern day Toledo, Ohio the General Anthony Wayne steered the Unites States troops and gained victory over the alliance of Indian warriors that were led by the Miami\u2019s Chief Little Turtle and the Shawnees\u2019 Chief Blue Jacket. The modern day Ohio was open to the white settlers as a result of the treaty of Greenville that was signed in the following year (Tebbel 1972). The Native Americans victory could also be attributed from the support that they got from the British whose leader was Captain Alexander McKillop against the United States. The battle was mainly about gaining control over the Northwest Territory which had been handed to the United States during the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783. <\/p>\n
