Pontiac's War erupted in the Great Lakes region of North America just as the French and Indian War came to a close in 1763. The French, who had initially established a European presence there, were usurped by the British, whose relations with indigenous peoples were notoriously less diplomatic and more destructive. As a result, a Native American chief named Pontiac helped lead a coalition against the British. The outcome of Pontiac's War was not what either side intended, but it nevertheless helped shape the history of the region for decades to come.
