The Battle of Little Big Horn occurred as a result of the Sioux Wars. Operating under US Army and government orders, Lt Col George Armstrong Custer lead elements of the 7th US Cavalry in an effort to locate and destroy a Sioux encampment in North Dakota. Custer badly underestimated the size and resistance of the camp, with the result that much of his command was destroyed.
