If my memory serves me correct, in only lasted approximately 15 minutes because the Americans (Texians) attacked during siesta, a time when Mexicans were sleeping. Because of this, the Mexicans wer defeated in mere minutes. When all was said and done, the Americans captured Santa Anna and in return for his life, Anna gave us Americans Texas. However, it was not free. We had to pay over 10 million dollars for it. That treaty was called the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

Two years, from 1846 to 1848.
