Antonio López de Santa Anna also known as santa anna
The mexican war was a war between Texas and the mexicans for Texas becoming a newly independant country. Texas won and did not surrendur to the mexicans. The americans then later annexed Texas in 1848 in the treaty of Guadolupe Hidalgo
After the Mexicans lost the Mexican War, These regions became American territory: (Paid money) California Texas (With Rio Grande as the border) Northern part of New Mexico Northern part of Utah (the southern part of the two states were sold to the US later.)
The Battle of the Alamo was a defeat at the hands of General Santa Anna who surrounded the Alamo Mission and killed most of the defenders inside. The defeat was heroic, however, and the Alamo became famous as a symbol of Texas courage and bravery. The Battle of Goliad was the second skirmish of the Texas Revolution which ended in a Texan victory, not defeat. However, the Goliad massacre which occured about 5 months later was the execution of 342 Texas patriots by the Mexican Army. The brutal killing of the prisoners-of-war fueled anti-Mexican sentiments in Texas for many years to come.

NOTHING... the territory was won in the Mexican American war ... the state later succeeded from the union ... and later re joined ...
Mexico encouraged foreign settlement in Texas, but then Americans far outnumbered Mexicans in Texas. The Americans started to want to be independent, so they started the Texas Revolution. The Alamo was the first battle. Although all the Americans were killed, the Mexicans, in proportion, had many more losses. After that, the U.S. sent aid to the Texan army, which then routed the Mexicans at San Antonio and San Juanito (I think). Texas became a U.S. state 9 years later, in 1845.

the texans _____________________________ The battle of the Alamo was a tactical defeat for the Texans, who were slaughtered to the last man. However, nobody ever expected the Texans to win the battle; it was a holding action, designed to delay the Mexican army under General Santa Ana. During the two weeks while the Mexican army was attacking the defenders at the Alamo, the main force of the Texan army under Sam Houston was assembling. The delay at the Alamo proved deadly to the Mexican army, which was routed at the Battle of San Jacinto a month later. Additionally, the viciousness of the Mexican army at the Alamo and at Goliad (under Santa Ana's orders, they had executed any prisoners) inflamed the Texan soldiers who overran the Mexican forces and returned the favor.
Most Mexicans live geographically in the central plateau because when the first emigrants crossed the border they settled closely by in Arizona, Texas and New Mexico. Later they migrated northward.
