AI notes: The Battle of the Thames in 1813 was a decisive American victory during the War of 1812. Led by General William Henry Harrison, U.S. forces defeated British troops and their Native American allies in southwestern Ontario. The battle is notable for the death of Shawnee leader Tecumseh, which shattered Native American resistance in the region and weakened British influence. This victory helped secure American control over the Northwest Territory.
