The Battle of Fallen Timbers, fought on August 20, 1794, was primarily caused by ongoing tensions between American settlers and Native American tribes in the Northwest Territory, exacerbated by British support for the tribes. The battle resulted in a decisive victory for American forces led by General Anthony Wayne, which effectively ended Native American resistance in the region. Consequently, it led to the Treaty of Greenville in 1795, where Native American tribes ceded large portions of their land to the U.S., paving the way for westward expansion and settlement. This conflict also marked a significant step in establishing U.S. sovereignty over its western territories.
