I believe that the whitmans are responsible because they kept pushing the cayuse indians buttons. Like when they brought around 900 white pioneers to there place, which angered them because they gave the whitmans a privalige to live on there terittory. I think it is the indians to because they did not understand there back rounds and why they cant really recover as good as the pioneers did.
 * What is your //general// belief about who or what is most responsible for causing the conflict?**

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

The people that were involved were the Whitmans, several white pioneers, and the Cayuse Indians.The cayuse indians attacked where the Dr.whitman lived. They killed him, his family, and several white pioneers. It happened on November 29th 1847. it took place at a misionarie in Walla Walla.

**What were 3 factors that helped cause the conflict (politics, economics, geography, history)?** The first thing is that Marcus whitmann brought around 900 white pioneers to the mission which angered them. The second reason is that measles started getting people sick and the indians saw that the pioneers were recovering better than the indians and thought that they wherent taking care of them.

**explain hy one factor is more important than the others.** The one factor that is more important is the one with the measles.

**How could the conflict have been avoided?** They could of explained why there kind where not recovering like the pioneers were and could have not bugged them to covert to christianity.
