The Wounded Knee Massacre began on December 29, 1890, when U.S. Army troops intercepted a group of Lakota Sioux near Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota. Tensions escalated as the soldiers attempted to disarm the Native Americans, which led to a shot being fired—though it remains unclear who fired first. This incident quickly escalated into a violent confrontation, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Lakota men, women, and children, marking a tragic event in U.S. history.
