The soldiers defending the Alamo played a crucial role in the Texas War for Independence by embodying the spirit of resistance against Mexican rule. Despite being vastly outnumbered, the defenders, numbering around 180, held out for 13 days against a much larger Mexican force led by General Santa Anna. Their courageous stand became a rallying cry for Texan forces and boosted morale, inspiring subsequent battles for independence. The fall of the Alamo ultimately galvanized support for the Texan cause, leading to victory at the Battle of San Jacinto.
