During which war did the Americans take Apache land?

  • Civil War, Mexican-American War

Answer

The Americans seized Apache land during the Mexican-American War, which occurred between 1846 and 1848. The acquisition of vast territories in the Southwest, including Apache homelands, resulted from the United States' victory. This expansion marked a significant turning point in American history, shaping the nation's territorial boundaries and setting the stage for future conflicts and interactions with Native American tribes.
