The Battle of Little Bighorn: Custer's Last Stand

The video discusses the events leading up to and following the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. Indigenous leaders like Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse resisted U.S. government orders, leading to a gathering of tribes at Little Bighorn. The U.S. Army, led by George Custer, planned an ambush but underestimated the number of indigenous fighters. Custer's decision to attack without reinforcements resulted in his defeat, known as Custer's Last Stand. The battle was a significant victory for the indigenous tribes but led to harsher U.S. government policies against them.
