George Armstrong Custer's soldiers discovered gold in the Black Hills. The U.S. government responded by insisting that the Sioux who lived there sell their reservaation land but the Sioux refused. This caused the Battle of the Little Bighorn in which Sioux warriors surrounded George Armstrong Custer and his troops. It was the worst defeat the U.S. army suffered in the west.
