The Sioux War of 1876 was primarily caused by the U.S. government's desire to expand westward and the discovery of gold in the Black Hills, which were sacred to the Sioux. Following the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie, which recognized Sioux territory, the influx of miners and settlers into the area led to tensions and violations of the treaty.
