I’ll give you two:
Yes: The “War” on the Indians was not a traditional war of declaration but of skirmishes. When wagon trains of people headed West Indians would commonly target them for raids and pillage, so along many routes forts where built and patrols would try and make sure they were safe. If the problem became worse the local garrison would find the tribe and come with a list of demands. Most of the time they were fired upon arrival out of fear or anger. This would lead to a small battle or skirmish which would likely cause collateral damage.
No: The wars raged in the west against the Indians were that of near genocide, and to call it anything but is misleading. To claim that the slaughter of hundreds of innocent people was a “battle” is absurd and shouldn’t be considered. Though in films that depict such events are dramatized and inaccurate, situations much like those were taking place around the west yearly.
Im not writing an essay but some topics that you can use for this are anything within 1775-1783
You can include details about Paul Revere, The Bill of Rights, The Constitution, The division between colonists from loyalists and patriots, and also about the Battle of Chesapeake.
Make sure to create a stance for what you believe was either the right side of the war, or which side was more just. It is an argumentative essay so include a thesis which is specific to one side
Creation of the League of Nations, and hurt land across Europe (no man’s land)
