The American Indian Wars were the conflicts between settlers and the natives before and after the American Revolutionary War. The wars were a result of European settlers becoming greedy over land and pushing the natives out of their own territories. In order to "remove" the natives, the European Settlers either did it by force, or created treaties.
Reservations also played a major role in the historical events between the Americans and the Native Americans. Because of the white man's greed, they constantly were taking the land that did not belong to them from the natives by force. They decided to give the natives the so called "unwanted" land and called them reservations. The whites may argue that the reservations they provided were a means of survival for the natives. However, a lot of natives strongly disagree with this statement and believe the reservations were created in order to "kill off" their kind.
