- Catholic Missions
- The Spanish established Catholic missions to spread Christianity throughout the area, and what is now known as the Alamo was built.
- Battle of the Alamo
- Admitted into Statehood
- Tensions were very high between the Texans and the Mexican government, and a revolution began. During the 1836 Battle of the Alamo, hundreds of Texans died trying to defend their freedom.
- Although Texas declared their independence in 1836, they were not admitted into statehood until December 29, 1845.
- Mexican-American War
- Mexico was not happy that Texas was declared a state, and the Mexican-American War broke out. The war lasted about a year and a half, and ended with a U.S. victory in 1848.
