How to use "Bury the hatchet" in context?

For many, the phrase "bury the hatchet" implies the end of a rivalry or hostility. This saying, which is often attributed to American president George Washington, often conveys the message that enemies should part ways amicably, and that there is no need for continued conflict. Inherent in this sentiment is the belief that fights only breed animosity and make it harder to resolve problems. Even though these beliefs are often espoused, they may not always be valid. For example, in some cases, hostility may be the best way to achieve a desired outcome.
