Remember the Alamo? This historic site in downtown San Antonio was founded by Catholic missionaries from Spain in the 1700s. Don’t remember the Alamo? Let’s back up. It became a fort during the Texas Revolution (1835–1836) when the Mexican army fought for control against a rebel force of Anglo colonists and Tejanos (Texas Latinos). During the Battle of the Alamo in 1836, the secessionist fighters succeeded in breaking from Mexico to establish the Republic of Texas, later annexed by the US.
