Who were the Apaches and what type of relationship did they have with the Mexicans in Arizona?

The apaches were a hostile group of native americans that date back farther than the 1600s. The apaches and the mexicans were at a constant rivalry for many years making their relationship very violent and negative which led to the mexican-apache wars. The Apache–Mexico Wars,or the Mexican Apache Wars,refer to the conflicts between Spanish or Mexican forces and the Apache peoples. The wars began in the 1600s with the arrival of Spanish colonists in present day New Mexico. War between the Mexicans and the Apache was especially intense from 1831 into the 1850s. Thereafter, Mexican operations against the Apache coincided with the Apache Wars of the United States,such as during the Victorio Campaign. Mexico continued to operate against hostile Apache bands as late as 1915.
