USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: For generations the Apache, guided by leaders such as Chochise and Geronimo, resisted white colonization of their homeland in the Southwest by both Spaniards and North American settlers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Goyathlay, a powerful Apache leader, also known as Geronimo, hands his rifle to a U.S. general in surrender. When his tribe had been relocated to a reservation in Arizona 14 years earlier, the military resistance of Goyathlay and his tiny band of Chiricahuas made him feared by white settlers.

Detailed explanation-3: -In March 1886, General George Crook (1829–90) forced Geronimo to surrender; however, Geronimo quickly escaped and continued his raids. General Nelson Miles (1839–1925) then took over the pursuit of Geronimo, eventually forcing him to surrender that September near Fort Bowie along the Arizona-New Mexico border.
