Native Americans and Euro-Americans both have the same exact cultural value systems; the clash began when it was proven that the Euro-Americans don't actually follow this system while the Native Americans do.

The Indian Wars (Native American Wars) with the first large battle being the James River Settlements in Virginia on 22 March 1622 against the Powhatan nation resulting in 347 white deaths (Red men deaths unknown). The second largest battle with the same nation, also in Virginia, resulted in 500 white deaths on 18 April 1644.

Of course America's most infamous (or famous) Indian battle (Native American battle) in which literally hundreds of books & films have been created was Lieutenant Colonel George Custer's fight at the Little Big Horn in Montana on 25 June 1876 against the Sioux nation; as much heralded as this engagement was it only killed 268 white soldiers/scouts (7th US Cav).

Note: The United States 7th Cav was not wiped out (as many many people, Hollywood included, have stated or implied) ONLY the command group was totally wiped out. MAJ Reno's command & CPT Benteen's command (of the 7th US Cav) survived.

What was the main source of conflict between Native Americans and the US government?

By the 1850s nearly all Native Americans, roughly 360,000 in number, lived to the west of the Mississippi River . These American Indians, some from the Northwestern and Southeastern territories, were confined to Indian Territory located in present day Oklahoma, while the Kiowas and Comanches shared the land of the Southern Plains; and the Sioux, Crows and Blackfeet dominated the Northern Plains. These Native American groups encountered adversity as the steady flow of European immigrants into northeastern American cities pushed a stream of migrants into the western lands already occupied by these diverse groups of Indians. The early nineteenth century in the United States was marked by its steady expansion to the Mississippi River . However, due to the Gadsden purchase, that lead to U.S. control of the borderlands of southern New Mexico and Arizona in addition to the authority over Oregon country, Texas and California ; America's expansion did not end there. Between 1830 and 1860 the United States nearly doubled the amount of territory under its control. These territorial gains coincided with the arrival of troves of European and Asian immigrants who wished to join the surge of American settlers heading west. This, partnered with the discovery of gold in 1849, presented attractive opportunities for those willing to make the long journey westward. Consequently, with the military's protection and the U.S. government's assistance, many settlers began building their homesteads in the Great Plains and other parts of the Native American inhabited West. Native American Policy can be defined as the laws and operations developed and adapted in the United States to outline the relationship between Native Americans and the federal government. When the United States first became an independent nation, it adopted the European policies towards these native peoples, but over the course of two centuries the U.S. adapted its own widely varying policies regarding the changing perspectives and necessities of Native American supervision. In 1824, in order to administer the U.S. government's Native American policies, Congress made a new agency within the War Department called the Bureau of Indian Affairs, which worked closely with the U.S. Army to enforce their policies. At times the federal government recognized the Indians as self-governing, independent political communities with varying cultural identities; however, at other times the government attempted to force the Native Americans to abandon their cultural identity, give up their land and assimilate into the American culture. The U.S. government's policies towards Native Americans in the second half of the nineteenth century were influenced by the desire to expand westward into territories occupied by these Indian tribes.

President Wilson's initial reaction to the outbreak of war in Europe in 1914?

In 1914, when war broke out among numerous European nations, President Wilson's reaction was very much the same as that of most Americans at the time. In general, Americans considered the European conflict to be outside of American interest; indeed, the war was seen in some sense as "beneath" America dignity, and America, it was thought, will quite rightly stay out of the sad affair.


Were all European encounters negative?

I'm guessing you mean European encounters with non-European countries. If this is the case, then absolutely not. Marco Polo's travels to China were greatly beneficial to both Europe and Asia as they established the Silk Road from one end of Eurasia to the other. Initial contact with Africa was positive, as European explorers were amazed and impressed with the orderliness of African towns and villages. Initial contact with the Native Americans was extremely promising. The "negative" encounters began when the Europeans decided they could exploit the people they encountered. Although, to be fair, Europe's history in the middle east is almost universally negative.
