There are many causes, but essentially Custer found himself outnumbered, being attacked from high ground, and without the ability to manoeuvre. He also refused to retreat, underestimating the danger his forces were in. This allowed him to be surrounded and annihilated.

"Custer's Last Stand" was a monumental failure of battlefield tactics.
