French-Choctaw alliance
The Choctaw Indians entered into a long alliance with the French, ca. 1700. The Choctaws, engaged in a long war with the Chickasaws, used the alliance to shape French policy in Franco-Indian relations and in decisions about settlement. The French benefited from the alliance when the Choctaws helped defeat the Natchez, who had resisted French incursion.
