The English already knew they were outnumbered by the French, and suffered from disunity among the colonies, and no help funding military forces from the government back home. The French suffered military strength, and disadvantages in the fur trade. The Iroquois knew that they would be an advantage to either of the European powers. Only to make the negations fair the Iroquois was neutral to France, and gave the English their western hunting lands with the consequences of not being able to occupy or control the territory. Since the Iroquois were smart, they used the negotiations with the French and English to benefit and make the two powers even more so enemies. This makes the Iroquois dominant power in the Northeast gaining advantages fighting, enhancing diplomatic skills, and strategic fur trading routes.
