Explanation:

The Apache-Mexico Wars are referred to the battles between the force of Mexico (Spain) and the native communities of Apache. The dates of the wars can be traced in the early 1600's with the appearance of the Spanish settlers in New Mexico. The years between 1831 into the 1850's witnessed an intense environment of war. The main reason for the war was that Spain wanted to protect the land for the settlers.
