How Well Do You Know The History of The Wild West?

Which wars made the west particularly dangerous?

The West saw an influx of new settlers looking to explore the territory and expand into it. It wasn’t all roses for the pioneers though as they were faced with difficult conditions and lots of violence. The problem with their expansion drive then was it forced Native Americans away from their lands, causing a total breakdown of law and order in the region, and causing the natives to fight for their everyday survival.

This led to the outbreak of the Indian Wars, which began as a result of the expanding tensions between settlers in the West and the natives. The wars made living in the west particularly dangerous.
