The Battle of Wounded Knee, which occurred on December 29, 1890, was primarily caused by tensions between the U.S. government and Native American tribes, particularly the Lakota Sioux, over land, resources, and cultural suppression. The immediate trigger was the Ghost Dance movement, which frightened white settlers and led to increased military presence. The battle resulted in the tragic deaths of around 300 Lakota men, women, and children, marking a significant and brutal end to the Indian Wars. Its consequences included a further decline in Native American resistance and intensified policies of assimilation and displacement.
