American Indian War: Indian Vs American Settlers

American Indian War:

The American Indian Wars, or 'The American Frontier Wars', the First Nations Wars in Canada, and the Indian Wars, were fought by European governments and colonists, and later by the United States and Canadian governments and American and Canadian settlers, against various American Indians and First Nation tribes. These conflicts occurred in North America from the time of the earliest colonial settlements in the 17th century until the early 20th century. The various wars resulted from a wide variety of factors. America's real longest war was the conflict against Indigenous Americans, which most historians characterize as beginning in 1609 and ending in 1924 or 313 years, mainly over land control.

The European powers and their colonies also enlisted allied Indian tribes to help them conduct warfare against each other's colonial settlements. After the American Revolution, many conflicts were local to specific states or regions and frequently involved disputes over land use; some entailed cycles of violent reprisal. As settlers spread westward across North America after 1780, armed conflicts increased in size, duration, and intensity between settlers and various Indian and First Nation tribes. The climax came in the War of 1812, when major Indian coalitions in the Midwest and the South fought against the United States and lost. The result of the Indian Wars was a total victory by the United States of America. The conflicts lasted 150 years and were almost constant for most of the 19th century
