Why did the iroquios attack the Huron in 1648?

The Iroquois attacked the Huron in 1648 primarily due to competition for control over trade routes and resources in the fur trade, which was highly lucrative at the time. The Iroquois aimed to expand their influence and territory, as well as to eliminate the Huron as a rival power. Additionally, ongoing tensions and conflicts between the two groups, exacerbated by European involvement in Indigenous affairs, fueled the hostilities that led to the attack.
