On this day, March 6, 1836, the Alamo fell.
Battle of the Alamo
The Alamo, as drawn in 1854
Date: February 23 – March 6, 1836
Location
Alamo Mission, San Antonio, Mexican Texas
Coordinates: 29°25'32"N 98°29'10"W
The Battle of the Alamo (February 23 – March 6, 1836) was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution. Following a 13-day siege, Mexican troops under President General Antonio López de Santa Anna reclaimed the Alamo Mission near San Antonio de Béxar (modern-day San Antonio, Texas, United States), killing most of the Texians and Tejanos inside. Santa Anna's cruelty during the battle inspired many Texians and Tejanos to join the Texian Army. Buoyed by a desire for revenge, the Texians defeated the Mexican Army at the Battle of San Jacinto, on April 21, 1836, ending the rebellion.
