Fort Defiance - DEFIANCE OPOLY - Defiance, OH - Monopoly in the Real World on Waymarking.com

Located at the confluence of the Maumee and Auglaize rivers in northwestern Ohio is the former site of Fort Defiance. Although little remains of the original structure, it once played a crucial role in the history of American settler colonialism. Built in 1794 during Anthony Wayne’s campaign against a coalition of Indigenous nations of the Ohio Country, Fort Defiance played a decisive role in American victory. In addition to serving as a base of operations for the Battle of Fallen Timbers, the construction of Fort Defiance placed pressure on the British government in Canada to make a definitive decision concerning their support of their Indian allies. The construction of the fort also had a significant impact on the regional Indigenous population. During the American construction and occupation of the fort, Wayne destroyed the numerous fields of crops that the coalition depended on. The combination of these different factors resulted in the British abandoning their Indigenous allies and the coalition agreeing to the terms of the Treaty of Greenville in 1795.-Fort Defiance
