Final answer:

The British and the Iroquois Confederacy formed an alliance through the Treaty of Easton in 1758, and their combined forces led to capturing Quebec in 1759 and Montreal in 1760, marking the retreat of French traders from the St. Lawrence Valley.

Step-by-step explanation:

The year the British joined forces with the Iroquois Confederacy against the French in the St. Lawrence Valley was a gradual process that culminated with significant victories in 1759 and 1760. By 1758, the British, aided by Pitt's resources, had revitalized their colonial recruitment and, in the same year, key agreements with the Iroquois, Delaware, and Shawnee through the Treaty of Easton brought them into alignment with British interests. The pivotal victory for the British and their Native American allies was the capture of Quebec in 1759 and Montreal in 1760, leading to the French being driven out and the crumbling of the French empire in North America.
