Battle of the Alamo

The Battle of the Alamo was a battle fought on Earth in 1836, between the forces of Mexico and the people of the territory that would later become the state of Texas.

The battle involved 188 Texans, held in the old Alamo mission surrounded by two thousand Mexican troops, lead by General Santa Anna. The Texans were led by Colonels Jim Bowie, William B. Travis, and Davy Crockett. Although the Texans inflicted proportionately heavy Mexican casualties, Santa Anna ultimately prevailed; all 188 defenders of the outpost were killed.
