The deciding battle of the Texas Revolution was the Battle of San Jacinto, fought on April 21, 1836. Texian forces, led by General Sam Houston, launched a surprise attack against the Mexican army commanded by General Antonio López de Santa Anna. The battle lasted only 18 minutes, resulting in a decisive victory for the Texians, which ultimately secured Texas' independence from Mexico. Following the defeat, Santa Anna was captured, and he signed treaties recognizing Texan independence.
