Febuary 12,1836
Santa Anna won the battle of the Alamo.
The Alamo fell because Santa Anna came earlier than they had expected
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.
Santa Anna led troops to crush the Texas Revolution in 1836, specifically during the Siege of the Alamo in February and March of that year. After the fall of the Alamo on March 6, he continued to pursue Texian forces, leading to the decisive Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, where he was captured. His actions during this period were pivotal in the conflict between Mexican forces and Texian rebels.

He did not. Susanna Dickenson (wife of Captain Almeron Dickenson) and Joe (slave of Colonel William Travis) were spared at the Alamo because they were not combat personnel, and they were set free after the Alamo was captured. They had no value as hostages. In fact, Santa Anna wanted Susanna Dickenson alive and free so that she could tell about the fall of the Alamo to General Houston. Santa Anna hoped that her story would weaken the Texan will to fight and convince them that Mexico could not be resisted. Unfortunately for him, the fall of the Alamo had the opposite effect.
He was NOT there, but is remembered for a quick defeat of Santa Anna's Mexican Army at Jan Jacinto, Texas, shortly after the fall of the Alamo. His battle cry THERE was, "Remember the Alamo!". The Battle of San Jacinto gained Texas its independence from Mexico.

The Mexican troops attacked the Texan soldiers during the Siege of the Alamo, which took place in 1836. This pivotal event occurred at the Alamo Mission in San Antonio, where a small group of Texan defenders, including figures like James Bowie and William B. Travis, held out against a much larger Mexican force led by General Antonio López de Santa Anna. The siege lasted from February 23 to March 6, culminating in a fierce battle that resulted in the fall of the Alamo.
Not necessarily. There were other forts in Texas besides the Alamo. [Fort Defiance, for example. ] The Alamo was one Texas fort, but not all Texas forts were the Alamo.
General Santa Anna laid siege to San Antonio in late 1835 as part of the Texas Revolution. He led a well-equipped Mexican army to retake the city after Texan forces had captured it earlier. The siege culminated in the Battle of the Alamo in early 1836, where he ordered his troops to bombard the fortification, ultimately leading to the fall of the Alamo on March 6, 1836. This brutal assault became a rallying cry for Texan independence, encapsulated in the phrase "Remember the Alamo!"
