The Texans attacked the Mexican fort at San Antonio de Béxar during the Siege of Bexar, which took place from October 12 to December 11, 1835. This conflict was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution, as Texian forces sought to capture the fort from Mexican troops. The siege culminated in a successful assault that led to the capture of the fort and significant gains for the Texian independence movement.
Texans attacked the Mexican fort at Goliad in 1835 as part of their rebellion against Mexican rule. They sought to gain control of military supplies and secure a strategic position in their fight for independence. Additionally, the Goliad mission was seen as an opportunity to rally support and strengthen their resistance against the Mexican government, which was perceived as oppressive. The attack marked a significant early conflict in the Texas Revolution.
The Fort in San Antonio was the Alamo. The Mexicans captured it from the Texans not the Texans from the Mexicans. In one of the stupidest tactical military moves ever made, the Mexican leader, General Santa Anna, decided to use siege tactics. As the Mexicans built their siege works, the Texans used long range rifles to kill Mexican Solders. The short range Mexican Muskets, could not answer back. By the time the siege reached the fort, a large part of the Mexican army had been killed. Santa Anna would have lost far fewer solders with an all out assault.
Santa Anna attacked the Texans because he wanted the land for Mexico. He had started the Mexican revolution and wanted to expand the country.

The 420 Texans were stationed at Fort Alamo in Texas. This historic fort became the site of a pivotal battle during the Texas Revolution in 1836, where a small group of Texan defenders fought against a much larger Mexican army. The siege of the Alamo has since become a symbol of resistance and sacrifice in the struggle for Texan independence.
Janitors
Total surprise. At the Battle of San Jacinto, General Santa Anna, the Mexican dictator, let his troops take a siesta because he believed that the Texans wouldn't attack until the morning. He was wrong. The Texans attacked in the middle of the Mexican troops' siesta.
Wherever they wants.
