What was the cause of Red Cloud’s War?

Answer
A
The government broke promises of a treaty with the Sioux.
B
The government built a trail through Sioux hunting grounds.
C
US soldiers attacked the Sioux for their land.

Explanation

Red Cloud’s War began after the U.S. government opened the Bozeman Trail through the Sioux’s hunting grounds in the Powder River region. The trail brought settlers and soldiers into land the Sioux used, so choice B is correct. The conflict was not simply an attack to take Sioux land, as choice C suggests.
