A. The Battle of the Alamo (February 23 March 6, 1836) was a pivotal point in the Texas Revolution. Following a twelve-day siege, Mexican troops under the President of Mexico General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna launched an assault on the Alamo Mission in San Antonio de Bexar (modern-day San Antonio, Texas). All but two of the Texian defenders were killed.

A. Generally, they will just assign a car to you, but I have found that if you have a preference sometimes the person serving you will allow you some choice - once I asked for a red car, and they found me one! Look on the Alamo website to determine what types of cars are included in "full size".

A. the men at the alamo were beseiged for several days. a u.s. army was gathering a few counties away (san jacinto), and instead of pursue this army, santa anna stayed at the alamo, exhausting his men. when santa anna eventually went to san jacinto, his efforts were useless and the mexican american war was ended by the treaty of gaudeloupe hidalgo.

A. I don't know. But I do know the American text book writers a decade ago started reducing the Vietnam war down to little more then a footnote, till the Vietnam veterans spoke up. In China, the biggest complaint they have about Japan is their lack of history being told about WWII in their schools, in particular the Nanjing (Nanking) Massacre and their lack of a heartfelt apology to the Chinese people and the world. Countries do have a habit of rewriting negative history about themselves. How much do you know about what we did to the Indians? Most people know it was bad, what they don't know is how monumentally barbaric we were. Most countries have a habit of rewriting bad history about themselves. .

A. Oh, I'm learning this in school! Um, OK the Texans (Americans in the Texas region) did not want to be apart of Mexico anymore since slavery was never allowed there, and it was in America and they loved the American ways so they rebelled against Mexico and they had a civil war and that lead to the USA and Mexico War. The Alamo was in San Antonio that had an ancient building and was empty for years and years to come and part of the war was fought there. famous people like Robert E. Lee fought side with the Americans and Seana or w/e (this was strange since 20 years later, they fought against each other in the American Civil War!)

Asked by Nathan R - Fri Feb 13 15:50:53 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. San Antonio and the Alamo played a critical role in the Texas Revolution. In December 1835, Ben Milam led Texian and Tejano volunteers against Mexican troops quartered in the city. After five days of house-to-house fighting, they forced General Marin Perfecto de Cos and his soldiers to surrender. The victorious volunteers then occupied the Alamo already fortified prior to the battle by Cos' men and strengthened its defenses. On February 23, 1836, the arrival of General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna's army outside San Antonio nearly caught them by surprise. Undaunted, the Texians and Tejanos prepared to defend the Alamo together. The defenders held out for 13 days against Santa Anna's army. William B. Travis, the commander of the Alamo… [cont.]

Where exactly are the National and Alamo car rental centers in Downtown Guadalajara located?
Q. I'm traveling to Jalisco for two weeks and I'll be renting a mini van for my first week and then I will exchange it for a small sedan. I will be renting the van at the airport and I was thinking of probably returning the van at the downtown office because the airport is little bit farther for me and I don't have to pay the 10% airport fee. The address is Av. Ninos Heroes 982, Col Central, sector Juarez, Guadalajara. Which is the closest history site near this location. That way I can find it on a map. In advance thanks for your help.

He was wanting to know who will stay or leave..so he drew a line on the ground with his sword and asked those who wanted to stay step over the line..Go read your Texas History books for other info.
