Why did the massacre at Wounded Knee take place?

The massacre at Wounded Knee, which occurred on December 29, 1890, was the culmination of tensions between the U.S. government and Native American tribes, particularly the Lakota Sioux. It arose from fears of the Ghost Dance movement, which the U.S. government perceived as a threat to their authority and a potential uprising. When a confrontation ensued during the disarmament of Lakota Sioux at Wounded Knee Creek, U.S. troops opened fire, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Native Americans, including women and children. This tragic event symbolized the violent suppression of Native American culture and resistance during the westward expansion of the United States.
