Native Americans faced significant disadvantages in the struggle for the plains primarily due to the technological and numerical superiority of European settlers and the U.S. military. The settlers brought advanced weaponry, horses, and tactics that overwhelmed traditional Native American methods of warfare. Additionally, the introduction of diseases by Europeans decimated Native populations, further weakening their ability to resist encroachment on their lands. The U.S. government's policies, including forced removals and broken treaties, further marginalized Native American tribes and diminished their capacity to defend their territories.
