Do you mean "when did the Comanche live or rise to power," "when were they defeated/ confined to reservations," or something else? Quick summary so you can pick:
- Origins: The Comanche emerged as a distinct people in the early 1700s after splitting from Shoshone groups and moving onto the Southern Plains (what is now north-central Texas, eastern New Mexico, and western Oklahoma).
- Peak power: From about the mid-18th century through the mid-19th century they were a dominant Plains horse-and-buffalo culture, controlling large parts of the Southern Plains.
- Loss of independence: Military pressure from the U.S. and Texas, together with disease and economic disruption, broke Comanche resistance in the 1860s–1870s. The last large free band, led by Quanah Parker, surrendered and moved to a reservation at Fort Sill in 1875; remaining holdouts were rounded up through about 1878.
- Today: The Comanche Nation is a federally recognized tribe based in Oklahoma.
Tell me which aspect you want more detail on (origins, 18th–19th century history, conflicts with the U.S. and Texas, reservation period, or modern Comanche).
