"The entire force defending the mission died, and the battle became a rallying cry."
The 1836 Battle of the Alamo was significant because the defenders (including Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie) were all killed after a 13‑day siege by Santa Anna’s Mexican army. Their sacrifice became a powerful symbol and the rallying cry "Remember the Alamo!" helped motivate Texian forces, who defeated Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto a month later. The other statements are incorrect: the Alamo did not end the Mexican–American War, it was not tied to the Gadsden Purchase, and it was not a Texan victory.
