The Iroquois Native Americans allied with the British in the Seven Years' War for the following two reasons:
-
They were enemies with some of the tribes allied with the French. The Iroquois had longstanding rivalries and conflicts with certain tribes that supported the French, which influenced their decision to ally with the British.
-
They had a better relationship with the British than the French. The Iroquois generally had more favorable relations with British colonial leaders compared to the French, which made an alliance with the British more appealing to them during the conflict.
