USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Custer was unaware of the number of Indians fighting under the command of Sitting Bull (c. 1831-90) at Little Bighorn, and his forces were outnumbered and quickly overwhelmed in what became known as Custer’s Last Stand.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -How did it get its name? The battle was fought near the banks of the Little Bighorn River in Montana. The battle is also called “Custer’s Last Stand” because, rather than retreat, Custer and his men stood their ground. They were eventually overwhelmed, and Custer and all his men were killed.

Detailed explanation-4: -The battle, which resulted in the defeat of U.S. forces, was the most significant action of the Great Sioux War of 1876. It took place on June 25–26, 1876, along the Little Bighorn River in the Crow Indian Reservation in southeastern Montana Territory.

Detailed explanation-5: -Custer was defeated at the Battle of the Little Bighorn because he made a lot of fundamental errors. He acted alone-even though Gibbon’s last words to him were-Custer, don’t be greedy. Wait for us. Instead of going round the Wolf Mountains, Custer force-marched his men through the mountains.
