Answer:
The following reason explains why the U.S. army gunned down unarmed Sioux at Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota in 1890:
- American soldiers feared an uprising provoked by a militant interpretation of the Ghost Dance religion.
Explanation:
- Ghost Dance is such a religion which is lying on the basis of Wovoka's prophecy. That states the end of white expansion by Indians and also preaching the lessons of clean living, honest life and cooperation between different cultures.
- This religious movement wanted to restore the cultural traditions of Indians who were living in the western parts of the United States of America.
- In 1890, the U.S. army gunned down unarmed Sioux because soldiers feared that uprising has been provoked by the militant interpretation of the ghost dance religion.

Built earlier in the year, this defensive line consisted of fortified towns, stretching from Pisa in the west to Pesaro in the east. One of these towns was Siena, home to much glorious medieval art—also home to the Italian partisans, guerillas who had been harassing the Germans and remnants of Italian fascists since Italy had surrendered. Their ability to create chaos and confusion behind the Germans’ own lines was of great aid to the Allies.
Expert strategic maneuvering by British General Harold Alexander, who opened his offensive on August 25, surprised the Germans, and the 8th Army swept through the Plain of Lombardy, crashing through the Gothic Line.
