| - The Battle of the Alamo occurred between February 1836 through March of the same year, during the Texas Revolution. Over two thousand Mexican soldiers besieged the Alamo Mission, a small fort in San Antonio, Texas, with just one hundred and fifty-five Texans defending it. Although the Mexicans over-ran the fort eventually, they had six hundred casualties due to the tenacity of the defenders. Two of the more famous heroes of the Alamo was the Tennessean, Davy Crockett and James Bowie.
- This article is about the OTL battle. For the fictional battle, see Battle of the Alamo (Lee at the Alamo). The Battle of the Alamo (February 23 – March 6, 1836) was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution. Following a 13-day siege, Mexican troops under General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna launched an assault on the Alamo Mission near San Antonio de Béxar (modern-day San Antonio, Texas). All but two of the Texan defenders were killed. Santa Anna's perceived cruelty during the battle inspired many Texans — both Texas settlers and adventurers from the United States — to join the Texan Army. Buoyed by a desire for revenge, the Texans defeated the Mexican Army at the Battle of San Jacinto, on April 21, 1836, ending the revolution.
- Several months previously, Texians had driven all Mexican troops out of Mexican Texas. Approximately 100 Texians were then garrisoned at the Alamo. The Texian force grew slightly with the arrival of reinforcements led by eventual Alamo co-commanders James Bowie and William B. Travis. On February 23, approximately 1,500 Mexicans marched into San Antonio de Béxar as the first step in a campaign to re-take Texas. For the next 10 days the two armies engaged in several skirmishes with minimal casualties. Aware that his garrison could not withstand an attack by such a large force, Travis wrote multiple letters pleading for more men and supplies, but fewer than 100 reinforcements arrived.
- During the first year of the time skip, the Revolutionary Army managed to liberate Tejas from the sovereignty of the World Government. Due to the fact that Tejas was extremely important to the Marines' maintenance of a supply line in the New World, the World Government wasted no time in deploying the World Government's Special Duty Royal Task Force to quell the rebellion in Tejas. It was then, and only then, that the World Government's Special Duty Royal Task Force set themselves upon The Alamo...

- An old Spanish mission near San Antonio swelters in the swooning Texas heat, surrounded on all sides by over 2,000 Mexican troops under the command of the charismatic devil-spawn known as General Antonio López de Santa Anna.
