<注意>国家大写
hints：Sioux; Apaches
When Europeans first arrived on the east coast, they pushed the native people west. Each time, the government promised new land for the native people so they would have a home. Each time, the promises were broken while white settlers took the land. In the late 1800s, Sioux tribes in the northern plains and Apaches in the southwest fought back. Although they were strong, the U.S. government forces defeated them. Many tribes would live on reservations, which are federal lands administered by Indian tribes. Today there are more than 300 reservations. Toward the end of the 1800s, European powers colonized Africa and fought for rights to trade in Asia. Many Americans believed that the United States should do the same. Many other Americans did not like any action that seemed imperialistic.
当欧洲人第一次到达东海岸，他们把当地人赶到西海岸。每次，政府承诺对当地人的新的土地为让他们有一个家。每次，承诺被打破了当白人定居者占土地。在19世纪后期，苏在北部平原和阿帕奇部落在西南地区进行了回击。虽然他们很强，美国政府的力量击败他们。许多部落在居留地生活，这是由印第安部落管理的联邦土地。今天有300多个居留地。走向19世纪的结束，欧洲列强殖民非洲和争取在亚洲的贸易权。许多美国人认为美国也应该这样做。其他许多美国人不喜欢任何近似帝国主义的行动。
