Most who fought at the Alamo were Mexican citizens including Jim Howie and Juan Sequin.

Texans were unaware of the number of Mexican soldiers that were headed to battle. They expected 150 men yet 5000 soldiers game.
The spanish and the texans who claimed to then be there own rebublic.
Wit The Mexican forces led by Mexican leader, Santa Anna, defeated the Texans defending the Alamo. The Mexicans had an overwhelming number of troops and the Alamo was surrounded and undermanned.
The Battle of the Alamo was fought in 1836. This was a battle between the Republic of Texas and Mexico. Santa Anna led the Mexican forces. William Travis and James Bowie led the Texans. Davy Crockett is another famous person fighting on the side of Texas.
The Texans won. RoyBig writes: The Texans dd NOT win, they were all killed. The Mexican Army was later defeated, but they WON at the Alamo.
The actual battle was not really significant, but what it did was unite the Texans into a better army and give them a cry to drive them to the end, "Remember the Alamo!". The 100 Texans manning the Alamo were vastly outnumbered by 5,000. The garrison of Texans defending the Alamo lost the battle, but the Mexican Army paid dearly for their victory there. The Mexican forces were soundly defeated at San Jacinto where they lost the war.

The Texans lost in the Battle of Alamo because there was more Mexican soldiers. There was actually three battles and the Texans lost the first and second time. The Texans attacked Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana's army, (the Mexican president) while they were resting in there tents. The Texans defeated the Mexican forces and about 700 of there men got killed while only nin Texans died. The second battle happened in only 18 minutes.
The decisive defeat in Texas was at the Battle of San Jacinto led by Sam Houston defeating Mexican General Santa Ana in a surprise attack. This battle occurred after the devastating defeat of the Texans at the Alamo by the same general Santa Ana. Houston himself lost many friends and even a relative of his wife, Mary, at the Alamo. Houston's troops were rallyed by the cry, "Remember the Alamo."
After the battle of the Alamo, I believe. :)
At El Alamo, Texas.
the battle cry of the Texans was "Remember the Alamo".
