Through their alliances, the American Indians and the Europeans became economically dependent on each other. The Europeans relied on their Indian partners to provide them with furs and skins. The Indians relied on their European partners to provide them iron tools, woolen garments, and guns. But, the Indian European alliances went beyond economics. They also served a military purpose. The Huron and Iroquois, for example, had long been enemies. The French regularly found themselves drawn into battle against the Iroquois in support of their Huron allies. Earlier in the colonial period, other violent conflicts pitted Indians against English colonists. The competition for land was the main source of friction that led to violence. Powerful Indian tribes controlled access to beaver and deer in the interior of the continent. Those same tribes also blocked access to English settlers who wanted to expand westward. These Indians feared being swamped by the westward migration of English settlers.

Indian deaths in wars such as these took a grave toll on tribes. But it was nothing compared with the greatest killer of all: disease. Europeans unknowingly carried contagious diseases with them to the Americas. There they devastated the Indians, who lacked immunity to these foreign diseases. Epidemics of smallpox, measles, plague, and influenza swept through Indian villages, often killing every resident. These deadly diseases wiped out native populations in nearly every section of North America, leaving the Indians less able to resist the Europeans.
