<P> The Battle of the Alamo ( February 23 -- March 6 , 1836 ) was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution . Following a 13 - day siege , Mexican troops under President General Antonio López de Santa Anna launched an assault on the Alamo Mission near San Antonio de Béxar ( modern - day San Antonio , Texas , United States ) , killing all of the Texian defenders . Santa Anna 's cruelty during the battle inspired many Texians -- both Texas settlers and adventurers from the United States -- to join the Texian Army . Buoyed by a desire for revenge , the Texians defeated the Mexican Army at the Battle of San Jacinto , on April 21 , 1836 , ending the revolution . </P>
