Why did the Oklahoma City bombing occur?
On 19 April 1995, 29 year old Gulf war veteran rented a truck and packed it with about 2,300 kg of explosive material consisting of ammonium nitrate, an agricultural fertiliser, and nitromethane, a highly volatile motor-racing fuel. He then detonated it in the street in front of the Alfred P Murrah federal building, a US government office complex. 168 were killed in the explosion, including 19 children attending a day-care centre in the building. 800 more people were injured, while over 300 buildings in the surrounding area were destroyed or seriously damaged. At the trial, the US Government asserted that McVeigh's motivation for the attack was to avenge the deaths two years earlier of Branch Davidians near Waco, Texas, whom he believed had been murdered by agents of the federal government. On 13 June 1997, Timothy McVeigh was sentenced to death by a jury consisting of seven men and five women, who unanimously voted that McVeigh should die by lethal injection: he was executed at a US penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, on 11 June 2001.

What claimed land South of Present day Oklahoma in 1700?

This region was largely inhabited by various Native American tribes, including the Osage and the Wichita. The French also had interests in the area due to their exploration and trade routes in the Mississippi River Valley, leading to competition between the French and Spanish for control of the region.
