The European powers and their colonies also enlisted allied Indian tribes to help them conduct warfare against each other's colonial settlements. The various wars resulted from a wide variety of factors, the most common being the desire of settlers and governments for Indian tribes' lands. These conflicts occurred in the United States from the time of the earliest colonial settlements in the 17th century until the early 20th century. The American Indian Wars, also known as the American Frontier Wars, and the Indian Wars, were fought by European governments and colonists in North America, and later by the United States government and American settlers, against various American Indian tribes.
