- The Battle of the Alamo is a very famous battle that took place in the Alamo, an old mission. The Texans decided to stand their ground but were slaughtered by the Mexican troops. The famous battle cry "remember the Alamo" was founded during this battle.
- Santa Anna was taken hostage by the Texans and they forced him to sign a treaty declaring Texas as an independent country. Once Santa Anna returned to Mexico he claimed that this treaty was not legal because he had been forced to sign it against his will.
