The Alamo was famously besieged by Mexican forces led by General Santa Anna in 1836 during the Texas Revolution. The Texian defenders, including notable figures like William B. Travis, James Bowie, and Davy Crockett, fought valiantly but were ultimately defeated on March 6, 1836. Despite the loss, the battle became a rallying cry for Texian forces, leading to their eventual victory at the Battle of San Jacinto later that year, which secured Texas independence.
