Detailed explanation-1: -About three thousand Sioux warriors led by Crazy Horse descended upon Custer’s regiment, and within hours the entire Seventh Cavalry and General Custer were massacred. The victory was brief for the warring Sioux. The rest of the United States regulars arrived and chased the Sioux for the next several months.
Detailed explanation-2: -All 210 U.S. soldiers who followed George Armstrong Custer into the Battle of the Little Bighorn were killed; Custer also died. There were about 50 known deaths among Sitting Bull’s followers.
