1835–1836: Texas Revolution (oct 2, 1835 – apr 12, 1836)

Description:

The Texas Revolution began on October 2, 1835, with the Battle of Gonzales, where Texian settlers resisted Mexican forces attempting to reclaim a cannon. Tensions had been growing due to increasing centralization under Mexican President Antonio López de Santa Anna. Key battles included the Siege of Bexar (December 1835), the Battle of the Alamo (March 1836), and the Goliad Massacre (March 1836). The revolution ended on April 21, 1836, when General Sam Houston led Texian forces to victory at the Battle of San Jacinto, capturing Santa Anna and securing Texas' independence.
