Why did the battle of Little Bighorn happen?
The Battle of Little Bighorn was caused by the discovery of gold in the Black Hills by George A. Cluster himself. The Black Hills were on land that had been reserved for the Sioux. Stuck between upholding an Indian alliance and gold, it's obvious which Americans chose.
Did Custer make the right decision at the Battle of Bighorn?
The encampment at the Little Big Horn included thousands of men, women and children. Custer went in with 2 other factions of soldiers though he did not wait for them to catch up. The men with him counted fewer than 300. Even if the men who were still circling around to reach their attack points had taken part in the battle, I believe, that the anger the Native People felt toward previous massacres would have left the Little Big Horn with a similar ending no matter what.Another ViewpointHow can the battle at the Little Big Horn be viewed as somebody's "right decision?" Everybody died. EVERYBODY. Custer was a prima donna and a fool, and he led his vaunted 7th into an inescapable bloodbath. Custer richly deserved his fate, but I pity the men who served -- and died -- with him.

Custer had 2 favorite horses. Vic and Dandy. Vic was a Kentucky thoroughbred and a battle horse. Vic although was high spirited had speed and quickness for fast charges and maneuverings of battle. Most feel Vic was killed along with Custer; used as a shield against the indians, while others feel Vic went AWOL. Dandy was an extra mount and used as a pack horse. Dandy survived the attack on Reno Hill. Dandy was a sturdy little horse and could stand heat or cold and travel miles without exhaustion. Dandy was sent to Mrs. Custer in Monroe, Michigan and she gave the horse to Custer's father. Dandy was 25 years old when he died on Custer Sr.'s and buried in the orchard.
Why or how the Sioux Indians won Battle of the little bighorn?
Only by not fighting a battle, as his orders specified. As he left General Terry's Montana Column on 22 June 1876, Terry told him not to go rushing in and to wait for the column to catch up if he found the enemy camp.Custer replied "No I won't", which could have been agreeing with "don't go rushing in" or disobeying "wait for the column" - in the end he disobeyed and did not wait for the main body of troops.On his own Custer had no chance of winning, no matter what he did.
