The Battle of the Alamo was a 19th-century battle between the Republic of Mexico and the rebel Texan forces, including Tejanos, during the latter's fight for independence - the Texas Revolution. It took place at the Alamo mission in San Antonio, Texas (then known as "San Antonio de Béxar") in February and March of 1836. The 13-day siege ended on March 6 with the capture of the mission and the death of nearly all the Texan defenders, except for a few slaves, women and children. Despite the loss, the 13-day holdout stalled Mexican forces' progress and allowed Sam Houston to gather troops and supplies for his later successful battle at San Jacinto[citation needed]. The Texan defenders went on to win the war.

The battle took place at a turning point in the Texas Revolution, which had begun with the October 1835 Consultation whose delegates narrowly approved a call for rights under the Mexican Constitution of 1824. By the time of the battle, however, sympathy for declaring a Republic of Texas had grown. The delegates from the Alamo to the Constitutional Convention were both instructed to vote for independence.

Guess what. Instead of writing this question and seeing if anyone else can remember the date, you could have typed five letters into google -- A L A M O and the answer would have popped up. The certified, genuine, correct answer. Now you are going to have to wade through a whole pile of responses, which may or may not agree with each other.
Do I know when the Alamo took place? Yes. And I've visited the site. It was really interesting, but very surprising. After watching the movies that have featured the Alamo over the years, I was really shocked to find out how small it was!

The battle at the Alamo did not take place during the Mexican War. It was part of the Texas War for Independence.
