The Battle of the Alamo, which took place from February 23 to March 6, 1836, was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution. During this battle, all of the Texian defenders, estimated to be around 180 to 250 men, were killed. The Mexican forces, led by General Antonio López de Santa Anna, suffered significant casualties as well, with estimates ranging from 600 to 1,600 soldiers killed or wounded. The exact number of deaths on both sides remains a subject of historical debate, but it is widely accepted that the battle resulted in a high number of fatalities. The sacrifice of the Texian defenders became a rallying cry for the eventual success of the Texas Revolution.
