The Canadian Federal government purchased all the Hudson’s Bay lands in 1870 eventually resulting in the formation of the Province of Manitoba. This was achieved after the Canadian Militia and British troops had moved west to the Red River colony to suppress the first civil disturbance led by Louis Riel. Riel escaped to the United States but was later convinced by supporters to return to Saskatchewan with his family. The spark of new conflict came on March 18th 1885 when Riel’s followers seized the local Indian agent and some other Canadian government officials and announced the formation of a provisional government. The Federal government moved swiftly to quash the rebellion.
