 * What is your //general// belief about who or what is most responsible for causing the conflict?**

I believe that it was the US settlers responsibility for the conflict because they took the gold even though that the Nez Perce retreat already had the land and the US settlers took it by buying it.

**What is the relevant background information (i.e. who, what, when, where)?**

=
The Nez Perce war is a almentably familiar situation. In 1877 president ulysses s. Grant opened the Nez Perce homeland. The conflict began when white ranchers realized that wallowa valley, as well as the snake and clearwater valleys, where the indians lived, would make great open range for their cattle. What as sometimes referred to the Nez Perce war in 1877 though more accurately called the conflict of 1877, began long before weapons of wars were used. In 1877 when his band of Nez Perce was forced from their home in the wallowa valley of the western oregon.======

**What were 3 factors that helped cause the conflict (politics, economics, geography, history)?**

=
Nez Perce country commissioners... fighting retreat by these Nez Perce toward canada... champion of prevention and could provide ideas for such tips. Explore ideas, our economy is based on farmers and ranchers. Nez Perce and US government struggles to claim space and define place... 1997. The Nez Perce was exploits and econimic ingratiation proved mighty factors.======

**Explain why one factor is more important than the others.**

I would think that the politics is more important then the other factors because politics is about life and economics, geography, and history are details about politics. For another reason it more important to know about politcs then the other factors.

**How could the conflict have been avoided?**

The conflict has been avoided because if the Nez Perce didnt do anything about there land then the US settlers would of takin that lan.
