The siege of Fort Pitt took place during June and July 1763 in what is now the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. The siege was a part of Pontiac's War, an effort by Native Americans to remove the Anglo-Americans from the Ohio Country and Allegheny Plateau after they refused to honor their promises and treaties to leave voluntarily after the defeat of the French. The Native American efforts of diplomacy, and by siege, to remove the Anglo-Americans from Fort Pitt ultimately failed.

  • Le siège de Fort Pitt eut lieu du 22 juin au 20 août 1763 dans ce qui est maintenant la ville de Pittsburgh en Pennsylvanie (États-Unis). Le siège faisait partie d'un soulèvement des Amérindiens, la rébellion de Pontiac, dont le but était de chasser les Britanniques de la vallée de l'Ohio, et de les repousser de l'autre côté des montagnes des Appalaches. La tentative indienne de capturer Fort Pitt a finalement échoué. (fr)
  • The siege of Fort Pitt took place during June and July 1763 in what is now the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. The siege was a part of Pontiac's War, an effort by Native Americans to remove the Anglo-Americans from the Ohio Country and Allegheny Plateau after they refused to honor their promises and treaties to leave voluntarily after the defeat of the French. The Native American efforts of diplomacy, and by siege, to remove the Anglo-Americans from Fort Pitt ultimately failed. This event is best known as an early instance of biological warfare, in which William Trent from an American settler family and Simeon Ecuyer, a Swiss mercenary in British service, gave items from a smallpox infirmary as gifts to Native American emissaries with the hope of spreading the deadly disease to nearby tribes. The effectiveness is unknown, although it is known that the method used is inefficient compared to respiratory transmission and these attempts to spread the disease are difficult to differentiate from epidemics occurring from previous contacts with colonists.

  • Осада форта Питт (Siege of Fort Pitt) — осада индейскими племенами британского в ходе восстания Понтиака летом 1763 года. Стала известна в основном из-за истории с одеялами из карантинного барака, которые были переданы осаждающим форт индейцам в надежде на распространение оспы в их среде. Случай стал упоминаться как первый в истории пример употребления биологического оружия, хотя неизвестны последствия этих событий, и сам подобный метод передачи инфекции считается крайне неэффективным.
