What caused the little crows war?

The Little Crows War, also known as the Dakota War of 1862, was primarily caused by a combination of broken treaties, economic hardship, and growing tensions between the Dakota Sioux and white settlers in Minnesota. The Sioux faced starvation due to failed crops and the delayed payment of annuities promised in treaties. Frustration over these grievances led to violent clashes, igniting the conflict that resulted in significant loss of life and displacement for the Dakota people.
