EMPIRE: A Warring, Shitty Friend
Peace & Friendship Treaties: what are they and how were they used by Empires to appropriate land? One example of a P&F Treaty is the The Silver Covenant Chain, a complex set of alliances or agreements between the British Empire and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and Seven Nations. These various treaties require(d) constant “polishing” to keep the links of friendship bright and strong.
