Years: 1742 - 1742
The French have successfully reignited the conflict between Chickasaw and Choctaw.
The Choctaw have pursued their familiar hit-and-run tactics: ambushing hunting parties, killing traders’ horses, devastating croplands after using superior numbers to drive the Chickasaw into their forts, and killing peace emissaries.
Illiniwek and Iroquois occasionally have pitched in from the north as well.
This war of attrition has effectively worn the Chickasaw down, reaching a crisis level in the late 1730s and especially the early 1740s.
