Answer
The Battle of the Little Bighorn, also known as Custer's Last Stand, was a resounding defeat for the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment led by Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer. The battle, which took place on June 25-26, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in present-day Montana, resulted in the near-annihilation of Custer's battalion by a coalition of Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors.
