It occurred on November 7, 1811, between American forces led by Governor William Henry Harrison and Native American warriors associated with Shawnee leader Tecumseh.

The Battle of Tippecanoe, fought in November 1811 between American forces led by Governor William Henry Harrison and Native American warriors associated with Tecumseh, marked the beginning of increased hostilities between Native American tribes and American settlers. It signaled the rise of Native American resistance against U.S. expansion into their territories. The battle also set the stage for the War of 1812, as it heightened tensions and drew the U.S. into deeper conflict with Britain, who was perceived to be supporting the Native American resistance.
The cause of the Battle of Tippecanoe was increased tension between the Shawnee and the governor of Indiana. Tecumseh, the Shawnee leader, was preparing for possible battle with the United States forces, which led Governor William Harrison to march his men to fight the Shawnee near Tippecanoe.
