Great Peace of Montreal

1701 · 18th century · Part of the Beaver Wars

The Great Peace of Montreal was a peace treaty signed in August 1701 by the governor of New France, Louis-Hector de Callière, and the representatives of about forty Native nations, among them the Iroquois Confederacy and France's Native allies of the Great Lakes. It ended nearly a century of intermittent war, and the Iroquois promised to stay neutral in conflicts between France and England. Over 1,300 delegates attended the conference.
