Iroquois (AMPU)

Iroquois officially the State and Confederation of Haudenosaunee is a state in the Northeastern United States. It borders the states of New York and Pennsylvania to the South, Vermont to the East and lake Ontario, Canada and Quebec to the North.

History
The Iroquois Confederacy was one of the oldest sovereign states in North America, and at its peak controlled much of the great lakes region of the modern USA.

During the First Revolution, the Iroquois had first positioned themselves as a neutral power. In 1775, on the orders of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin traveled to Onodaga to negotiate an alliance with the Iroquois. Promising to guarantee their territory and treat them as an equal State in the new American confederacy, the Iroquois agreed and committed several thousand men under the command of Joseph Louis Cook, who joined in his attack on Quebec.
