Question

Most native american tribes were individual groups before europeans arrived; however, five iroquois peoples did unite and formed a great league of peace. Identify the most likely reasons the five tribes of iroquois united under one confederacy.

Answer 1

The reason for the Iroquois tribes to form the Great League of Peace was to maintain good relations between their communities. They wanted to stick together and support each other so that they can face any problems as a union and thus be stronger, and to preserve their culture, language, traditions. Unfortunately, it didn't turned out as they planned, and during the American Revolution they were forced to choose a side between the British and the Americans in order to preserve their independence.
