Question

which treaty forced the iroquois to give up large portions of land to the newly independent united states?
treaty of greenville
treaty of ft. wayne
treaty of ft. stanwix
treaty of canandaigua

Explanation:

The Treaty of Fort Stanwix (1784) was the first treaty between the United States and the Iroquois Confederacy. After the American Revolution, the U.S. government wanted to assert its control over western lands. The Iroquois, who had been allies of the British during the Revolution, were pressured. This treaty forced the Iroquois to cede large portions of their territory in New York and the Northwest Territory (present - day Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin) to the United States.

• The Treaty of Greenville (1795) was between the U.S. and various Native American tribes (not specifically focused on the Iroquois ceding land to the newly independent U.S. right after the Revolution).
• The Treaty of Fort Wayne (1803) was more about land cessions in Indiana.
• The Treaty of Canandaigua (1794) was more about defining a relationship and some land - related but not the large - scale cession right after the U.S. independence as in the case of Fort Stanwix.

Answer:

Treaty of Ft. Stanwix
