Mexico had recently revolted against its mother country, Spain, in the Mexican War of Independence before fighting the Texan patriots in the Texas Revolution.
Because the United States wanted the texan terretory and texans were at war with the mexicans so the united states helped the texans.
Two, the war for Texas Independence and the Texan's participation in the Mexican American War as a US State.
It can be called the War for Texas Independence or the Texas Revolutionary War, but it is not to be called the Mexican American War or the Mexican War which happened a decade after the Texans won their Independence at San Jacinto.
The Texas War of Independence concluded with the decisive militaristic defeat of the Mexican government against the Texan insurgents at the Battle of San Jacinto.In a span of eighteen minutes, Texan forces surprised Mexican commander Santa Anna's army on April 21, 1836. Heavily outnumbered, the Texans defeated the Mexican forces which numbered around 1,200 men. Only nine Texans perished at the battle.Ultimately, the Republic of Texas was born out of the Texas Revolution.
The Texan army set up for battle there to suprise the Santa Anna army.
Definitely not. The Texan garrison at the Alamo was wiped out to the last man. It was a sacrifice which delayed the advance of the Mexican Army for thirteen days. The first Texan victory was at Gonzales, when the war began. The only reaql battle the Texans won was the last one and that is the one that matters in a war.
It is known as the Texas Revolution (1835-1836)
The desire for Texan Independence from Mexico.
The emigrants from the United States (Specifically Southern) were pro-slavery which upset the young Mexican government making them enforce proper laws into the Texans sparking a revolution which then later had the Texans break away. The American Government, most notably James K. Polk wanting to annex it sent troops there even though Mexico threatened with a war declaration if they set a foot on Texan soil.
Santa Anna didn't enforce the Mexican Constitution of 1824. That Constitution Texas supported. So of course, it angered Texans and tensions grew between Texans and the Mexican government and finally after all options failed, Texans resorted to war.
Texan sloop-of-war Austin was created on 1840-01-05.
