The Alamo was dead in the middle of where the Mexicans needed to go. The Anglos (Americans living in Texas) defended the Alamo for over one week! In the end they all died, but the war cry of 'Remember the Alamo!' means to stand up for what you believe in and do it- until it's done.

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

The Alamo was a battle fought during the Texas war of independence from Mexico (1835-1836), not during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). It didn't mean much to the final outcome of the war, as it was almost by any accounts a massacre: 2,400 Mexican troops killed all but two of 182-260 Texans at the Alamo. The battle has been used, however, as a symbol of the Texan Independence Movement with "Remember the Alamo!" as the battle cry with most significance.


Is the Mexican war the Alamo?

No. The Alamo was in 1836 during the War of Texan Independence. After gaining its independence from Mexico, Texas was a sovereign nation for ten years until opting to become a US state. However, the Mexican War began with a disagreement over where in Texas to draw the new US-Mexican border, and Mexico was again ruled by the same dictator (Santa Anna, pulled from his exile in Cuba and returned to Mexico by the US), leading to some confusion. By the time the Mexican War began in 1846, the Alamo was history.


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.


Was the Alamo attacked by Santa Anna in the war for Texas Independence?

Santa Anna was not captured at the Battle of the Alamo. He won that battle. He was later captured by Sam Houston and Texas forces at the Battle of San Jancito on April 21, 1836.
