The battle famously remembered for General Custer's last stand is the Battle of Little Bighorn, fought on June 25-26, 1876. This conflict took place in southeastern Montana during the Great Sioux War. General George Armstrong Custer, commanding a part of the 7th Cavalry Regiment, led an ill-fated assault against a coalition of Native American tribes, including the Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne. Underestimating the strength and numbers of the Native forces, Custer and his troops were overwhelmed and ultimately defeated. This battle has become emblematic of the struggles between Native Americans and American settlers, highlighting themes of resistance and the tragic consequences of imperial expansion.
