Why was the alamo an important symbol in US history?

Quite simply, the duration of time that the defenders of the Alamo held Santa Ana and the Mexican Army gave Sam Houston enough time to mobilize an army of Texan volunteers which eventually defeated the Mexicans after they had conquered the Alamo. If the defenders of the Alamo had been defeated immediately, Texas may not have become part of the USA

What is the size of a military base?

The size of a military base can vary widely depending on its purpose, location, and the branch of the military it supports. Some bases may cover just a few acres, while larger installations can span thousands of acres. For example, a small forward operating base may occupy a limited footprint, while major installations, like those used for training and logistics, can extend over several square miles. Ultimately, the size is determined by the specific operational needs and capabilities of the military unit stationed there.


How did the outcome of the Alamo affect the rest of the Mexican-American war?

This sounds like a trick question: the Alamo fell nearly a decade BEFORE the Mexican War. The Mexican War pitted the USA against Mexico (April/May 1846-Feb 1848); the Alamo was part of the Texas war for independence from Mexico (Alamo: Feb-March 1836). That question is sort of like asking "how did the outcome of the Battle of Verdun affect the rest of WWII?" True, but I think the question is how did the Alamo affect the outcome of the Texas Revolution and in that respect the outcome at the Alamo leaves Santa Ana overconfident and he splits his forces in front of Sam Houston leading to a defeat at San Jacinto.


How many Mexicans died in the Alamo?

It was originally found that 189 Americans died at the Battle of the Alamo. This is the current official number. However, new historical estimates may guestimate the number as high as 257. Here is my source: http://www.lone-star.net/mall/texasinfo/alamo-battle.htm If it helps, this number can be found in paragraph 13. :)
