American Indian Wars

The American Indian Wars were a series of conflicts between Native American tribes and European settlers or the United States government, primarily from the early 17th century to the late 19th century. As settlers expanded westward, they encroached on Native lands, leading to disputes over territory and resources. These wars included notable events like the Sioux Wars and the Apache Wars. The conflicts often resulted in the forced removal of Native tribes from their ancestral lands, with significant consequences for their cultures and populations. Ultimately, these wars were part of the broader narrative of American expansion and colonization.
