1836 CE: BATTLE OF THE ALAMO

–between the Republic of Mexico and rebel Texian forces (Feb 23 – Mar 6)

–during the Texian fight for independence from Mexico. “The Texas Revolution.” The battle takes place at the Alamo Mission in San Antonio, Texas.

The 13–day siege ends with the deaths of almost all the defending Texians, but nevertheless becomes legendary, as does the saying “Remember the Alamo!” The Texian revolution goes on to ultimate victory—and secession from Mexico.

…and the Texians become Texans.
