The Treaty of Greenville was signed on August 3, 1795, between the United States and several Native American tribes, including the Shawnee and Miami. This agreement followed the Battle of Fallen Timbers, where U.S. forces defeated Native American warriors. The treaty aimed to establish peace and define territorial boundaries in the Northwest Territory. Under the treaty, Native American tribes ceded significant land in present-day Ohio and parts of Indiana to the U.S. government. In return, the U.S. promised to respect the remaining lands of the tribes and provide them with annual payments. This treaty marked a crucial step in U.S. expansion westward.
