THE ALAMO...

<< < (3/3)

Javier:
The mexicans did lose the war...but not the battle at the Alamo.

After 3 consecutive victores for Mexico ...Santanna got cocky and became a dick.  After they surrendered at another battle....Santanna decided to still attack them. This of course pissed off many Americans.  Santanna decided to send most of his soldiers back to mexico and the few left decided to to to take a rest and invite ladies over from Mexico to have a lil fun. That nite of the "siesta"...they were attacked.  AFter killing every mexican soldier...Santanna was still on the run. Eventuall they captured Santanna and gave him the option sell Texas to the U.S or have them execute him (not too sure about this).   The Mexican government did not approve anything santanna was upto

Thats what happens when military leaders become arrogant and too damn cocky.

Actually, there was one thing I did like in the movie.  When the Americans attacks Santanna at his camp site...the one soldier dove over a small barricade or something and tackled a mexican soldier...that was pretty funny.

No, the mexicans were definitly armed.  They knew the Americans were within 2 miles of them and headed for them.  However, like you said, Santanna was too cocky and didn't expect the Americans to attack like they did.

The Americans came out of a forest area extremely fast w/ foot soldiers and cavalry.  The Mexicans were shooting at them, and killing a few as well.  However, the Americans simply overtook them with overwhelming force and quickness....it said in the movie that the battle in actual history lasted for 18 MINUTES.
