The Treaty of Greenville was largely the result of pressure from the United States government, particularly following the defeat of Native American forces at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794. General Anthony Wayne, who led the American military forces, played a key role in negotiating the treaty in 1795. The treaty was signed by various Native American leaders under duress, as they faced the overwhelming military presence and expansionist policies of the U.S. government. This treaty resulted in significant land cessions from Native Americans in the Ohio region.
