The immediate causes of the Wounded Knee Massacre in December 1890 included rising tensions between Native Americans and U.S. government forces, particularly due to the Ghost Dance movement, which was seen as a threat to the established order. The U.S. military sought to disarm a group of Lakota Sioux at Wounded Knee Creek, leading to a confrontation. A shot was fired, triggering chaos and resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Lakota men, women, and children, marking a tragic end to the Indian Wars.
