Why did the Iroquois sign a peace treaty with the french?

The Iroquois signed a peace treaty with the French to secure their position and interests in North America amidst increasing tensions and conflicts over land and resources. This treaty was part of a broader strategy to navigate the rivalries between European powers, particularly the French and British, while also seeking to maintain their autonomy. By aligning with the French, the Iroquois aimed to strengthen their influence and protect their territory from encroachment by other tribes and European settlers.
