Answer: a. General Anthony Wayne’s victory at the Battle of Fallen Timbers.
Explanation:
The Battle of Fallen Timbers (August 20, 1794) was the last important fight of the Northwest Territory Indian War between Native Americans and the United States.
Close to what today we know as Toledo, Ohio, General Anthony Wayne led U.S. troops to triumph over a confederation of Indian fighters. The result was the Treaty of Greenville, where Native Americans agreed to give up land and move west.
