The Alamo was just one of many religious missions that the Spanish built as they were conquering Mexico and the American Southwest. The purpose was to provide a place where missionaries could live and work with the native people and convert them to Catholicism. When Mexico declared its independence from Spain, the missions became the property of the new Mexican government.

∙ 14y agoYou may get conflicting answers on this one, but I think the Alamo was to Texas what the Spartan stand at Thermopylae was to ancient Greece; an example of courage and sacrifice to inspire their countrymen. There are a few differences. As soon as Xerxes found a way around Thermopylae he took it. Santa Anna could have easily bypassed the Alamo, but he did not. The Spartans had a chance to withdraw and did not take it, whereas the Texans were surrounded and could not get out. They did not surrender either, but if they had surrendered they would have been executed as were the Texan soldiers who surrendered at Goliad. As with the Spartans at Thermopylae, the Texans at the Alamo were hoping for reinforcements which would not arrive.

How did the outcome of the Alamo affect the rest of the Mexican-America war?
The Alamo was a battle fought during the Texas war of independence from Mexico (1835-1836), not during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). It didn't mean much to the final outcome of the war, as it was almost by any accounts a massacre: 2,400 Mexican troops killed all but two of 182-260 Texans at the Alamo. The battle has been used, however, as a symbol of the Texan Independence Movement with "Remember the Alamo!" as the battle cry with most significance.
