The Anglo-Cherokee War (1759–1763), also known as the Cherokee War, the Cherokee Uprising, and the Cherokee Rebellion, was a conflict between British forces in North America and Cherokee Indians during the French and Indian War. The British and the Cherokee were formally allies at the start of the war, but each party repeatedly suspected the other of betrayal. Cherokees declared open war against the British in 1759, fighting independently and not as allies of France.
