Pontiac and allies begin the Seige of Detroit and the resistance known as Pontiac's Rebellion

Pontiac and ~300 Indigenous allies from various local tribes attacked Fort Detroit. Having been warned by an informant of the attack, the fort's commander had defenses ready. While Pontiac and his forces were ultimately unable to take the fort, he held seige against it until October. Word spread across the region of his seige and generalized revolts occurred which came to be known as Pontiac's rebellion, although some historians believe it was more of a generalized rebellion than one organized and led by a single person. At the height of the seige there were an estimated 900 Indigenous fighters present. While Pontiac held seige on the fort, attacks occurred across the Ohio valley area and at one point Indigenous forces controlled nine of eleven British forts.
