In early March of 1836, Texas declared itself to be an independent republic and sought to separate themselves from Mexico. At this time, Santa Anna, the Mexican leader had established himself as dictator of Mexico. He quickly sought to end the rebellion in Texas, which had been part of Mexico. Santa Anna's troops headed for San Antonio, and there found Texans and others occupying the Alamo. The Texas troops there were heavily outnumbered and Mexican forces forced the fall of the Alamo to surrender on March 6, 1836.

The Battle of the AlamoThere was no "war" of the Alamo. There was a battle at the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas in March of 1836.

Travis and 186 other Texas revolutionaries stalled Santa Anna at the Alamo, Sam Houston was moving eastward across Texas, working to recruit and train an army to successfully defeat Santa Anna's forces. A few weeks after the fall of the Texan forces at the Alamo, Sam Houston's army met with Santa Anna's army and quickly defeated the Mexicans at a place called San Jacinto, just east of where present day Houston, Texas is now located.

The biggest single reason why the Texans were unable to hold the Alamo was because there were 185 Texans in the Alamo, opposed by several THOUSAND Mexicans, who also had a strong advantage in artillery.

Most accounts of the fall of the Alamo depict it as a defeat, but it was not; the Mexican victory was Pyrrhic.
