| 1829 | Geronimo was born in No-doyohn Canyon in Arizona at the headwaters of the Gila River.  | Bedonkohe (Apache) | Geronimo |
Summer 1858  | 499 Mexican soldiers under the command of Colonel José Maria Carrasco raided the Bedonkohe Apache village abandoned by warriors in the area of Janos (Chihuahua, Mexico) and killed all the women, children and old people, including Geronimo's first wife and his three children. The warriors were in the nearby town of Janos to trade goods, and peace prevailed between the Apaches and the Mexicans. Mangus-Colorado started the return march without taking revenge, as the Bedonkohe only had about 80 warriors. Geronimo later called this the massacre of Kaskiey (as the Bedonkohe called the town of Janos). | Bedonkohe (Apache) Bedonkohe (Apache) | Mangus Colorados Geronimo |
| Summer 1859 | 3 groups of Chihuahua Apaches, the Bedonkohe under Chief Mangus Colorado, the Chokonni under Chief Cochise and the Nedni Apaches under Chief Whoa (also known as Juh) travel together to Arispe / Mexico to take revenge for last year's attack by the Mexicans. According to Geronimo, he was allowed to lead the group to Mexico and lead the fight because he had suffered the most in last year's massacre, even though he had never been a chief. The Mexicans deployed 2 companies of infantry and 2 companies of cavalry against the Apaches, but all the Mexicans lost their lives. Due to the great success, Geronimo was elected chief of the Apaches. | Bedonkohe (Apache) Bedonkohe (Apache) Chokonni (Apache) Nednhi (Apache) | Mangus Colorados Geronimo Cochise Whoa |
| Summer 1860 | Geronimo led 25 warriors into the Sierra de Sahuarita (near Sonora, New Mexico), where they fought against a company of cavalry. None of the soldiers survived the battle and the Apaches suffered heavy losses. Geronimo was wounded in the head, but was able to march back to Arizona. | Bedonkohe (Apache) | Geronimo |
| Summer 1861 | The Bedonkohe Apaches returned to the Sierra de Saharita with 12 warriors and ambushed a mule train carrying food, but were attacked by Mexicans on the way back. Geronimo was wounded twice, but was able to save himself. | Bedonkohe (Apache) | Geronimo |
| Autumn 1864 | Black Kettle felt very secure at Sand Creek due to the commitments of Wynkoop and Anthony. | Bedonkohe (Apache) | Geronimo |
| May 1866 | 30 Bedonkohe Apaches on horseback invaded Mexico via Sonora and captured numerous horses, mules and cattle. Around 50 Mexicans were killed. | Bedonkohe (Apache) | Geronimo |
| 1874 | The Apaches are in the mountains of the Sierra Madre, near Nacori, west of Chihuahua. 2 companies of Mexican cavalry face 60 Apaches. The Apaches have climbed a round white hill and are defending themselves. In the early afternoon, the Apaches storm the Mexican positions, taking them by surprise. In a short time, no Mexican was left alive. From there, the Apaches moved to Chihuahua and stayed there. It was not until a year later, in 1875, that the Apaches returned to Arizona. | Bedonkohe (Apache) Nednhi (Apache) | Geronimo Whoa |

| 3 March 1877 | Troops under the command of Captain Samuel M. Whitside, Company B of the 6th US Cavalry, established Camp Huachuca. The camp, renamed Fort Huachuca in 1882, was located about 12 miles north of the border with Mexico. The fort was built to make it more difficult for the Chihuahua Apaches to cross the border into Mexico. General Nelson A. Miles used the fort as his headquarters in the 1886 war against Geronimo. | Bedonkohe (Apache) | Geronimo |
| Summer 1884 | The Bedonkohe Apaches return from Mexico to Arizona. There were now many more Mexican soldiers on the road than in previous years and the Apaches could no longer hope for a successful battle. As soon as they arrived in Arizona, they were attacked by US Army soldiers, lost 14 warriors and moved back to Mexico in the area north of Arispe. Here they were again met by Mexican and US soldiers from the north. There was a major battle with the Mexican troops in the mountains of Arispe, which was to be Geronimo's last with Mexican soldiers. From then on, the Apaches were constantly pursued by US troops until they had to surrender in Skeleton Canyon. | Bedonkohe (Apache) | Geronimo |
| End of 1884 | In the mountains north of Arispe / Mexico, the Apaches are attacked by Mexican soldiers and by US soldiers from the north. The fighting lasted all day. The Apaches set fire to the tall prairie grass behind the Mexican lines and escaped in confusion. This was Geronimo's last battle against the Mexicans. From then on, the Apaches were constantly pursued by US soldiers until Geronimo surrendered in Skeleton Canyon. | Bedonkohe (Apache) | Geronimo |
| May 1885 | 143 Apaches break out of the San Carlos reservation and flee to the Sierra Madre, where they once again live as farmers and raid Mexican villages. Their chiefs were Geronimo, Nana and Nachez. In the following months, the Apaches were pursued by 5,000 US soldiers (about 1/4 of the entire US army) and 3,000 Mexican soldiers. | Bedonkohe (Apache) Apache Apache | Geronimo Nana Nachez |

Behind this small group of people were about 5,000 US soldiers and 3,000 soldiers of the Mexican army. | Bedonkohe (Apache) | Geronimo |
