The Battle of the Alamo was fought on March 6, 1836. It was a clash between rebellious Texans, who wanted to be independent from Mexico, and the Mexican army, which wanted to maintain its hold over Texas. The Mexicans wanted to make an example out of the Texans, to show them the dangers of rebellion.
