The Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890 was primarily fueled by tensions between the U.S. government and Native American tribes, particularly the Lakota Sioux. Contributing factors included the U.S. government's aggressive assimilation policies, the loss of tribal lands, and the cultural stress caused by the Ghost Dance movement, which sought to restore Native American traditions. The situation escalated when a misunderstanding during the disarmament of Lakota warriors led to violence, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Native Americans and marking a tragic end to armed Native resistance in the Plains.
