The Europeans didn't want to kill them all. The Spainish especially built missions to teach Native Americans Catholism, so the reservation would appeal to those friars. The Europeans were also taking control of their land and forced the Native Americans out naturally. Then they made a separate part of their land for them of course.

How would breaking up the reservations help the government achieve their goal of assimilating the native Americans?

A reservation is a kind of ghetto or enclave, in which native Americans associate only with their fellow native Americans in the reservation and have relatively little if any contact with other types of Americans. If native Americans move to cities where other types of Americans live, they will become more involved with what I might loosely describe as mainstream American culture. That is assimilation.


Why did the unites staes government try to move Native Americans to reservations?

Native Americans in the US did not due well as the westward expansion continued. White settlers were in constant conflict with Native Tribes and treaties signed by the US government with Native Tribes were broken all the time. The US wanted to not eliminate Natives, but rather to have them settle in reservations. This would of course infringe upon their freedoms. Basically, white settlers saw Natives as obstacles to their mining and farming interests. It must ne noted that Native Americans throughout the Western Hemisphere all suffered under the European invasions of the New World.
