Of all the battles of the Texas Revolution, the Battle of the Alamo (6 March 1836) is the most famous. It is not only among the best-known and most widely studied in American history but also around the world. The battle was the culmination of the 13-day Siege of the Alamo (23 February to 6 March 1836), during which Mexican forces under President and General Antonio López de Santa Anna (1794-1876) surrounded and vastly outnumbered the Texian and Tejano garrison of the Alamo.
