Red Cloud, a leader of the Lakota Sioux, fought the U.S. Army primarily in response to the U.S. government's encroachment on Native American lands and the violation of treaties. The conflict, known as Red Cloud's War (1866-1868), was sparked by the construction of the Bozeman Trail through the Powder River Country, which was sacred to the Lakota. Red Cloud sought to protect his people's territory, autonomy, and way of life against increasing settler and military presence. Ultimately, his resistance led to the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868, which recognized the Black Hills as part of the Sioux territory.

What caused the red cloud war?

Red Cloud declared war against the U.S. over the establishments of army posts along the Bozeman Trail, thru lands ceded to the Sioux thru prior treaty. In Particular, he was outraged by the U.S. sending a delegation to renegotiate that treaty to allow the forts, after the Forts were already under construction... Implying that the Sioux really had no option to refuse. Red Cloud ultimately forced the army to withdraw from the disputed Forts, making Red Cloud's war the only war against the US ever won by native peoples.
