Native American wars
Native American wars refer to a series of conflicts in North America between Indigenous peoples and European settlers, as well as the U.S. government, from the 17th to the 19th centuries. These wars arose from territorial disputes, broken treaties, and cultural clashes. Notable conflicts include King Philip's War, the French and Indian War, and the Indian Wars during the westward expansion. The wars often resulted in significant loss of life, land, and sovereignty for Native American tribes, leading to long-lasting impacts on their cultures and communities. They highlight complex historical relationships and struggles over land and rights.
