The first rebellion led by Louis Riel was the Red River Rebellion, which took place in 1869-1870. It was a response to the Canadian government's plans to annex the Red River Settlement without consulting the local Métis population. Riel sought to protect Métis rights, land, and culture, ultimately leading to the establishment of the Manitoba Act, which created the province of Manitoba.
