The war lasted a few years but the Native's were successful in bringing 9/11 British forts down, and destroying them.
Took place after the French and Indian war which lasted from 1754 to 1763 Britian gained most control over most of the territories in North America
The Native's then turned to the German to help, which they did, but they passed on Small Pox, causing many to die.
Pontiac's last attempt to taking out the Brittish took place at Fort Detroit, which lasted several days, and with such little amounts of support, Pontiac was not sucessful, and was forced to back down.
