What were the events of red clouds war?

Red Cloud's War (1866-1868) was a conflict between the United States and the Lakota Sioux, led by Chief Red Cloud. The war was primarily fought over control of the Powder River Country, as the U.S. sought to build forts and secure travel routes for settlers and miners. Significant battles included the Fetterman Fight, where a U.S. Army detachment was ambushed and defeated. The war culminated in the Treaty of Fort Laramie in 1868, which acknowledged Lakota ownership of the Black Hills and other territories, though this was later violated by gold rushes and further U.S. expansion.
