BATTLE OF THE ALAMO ENDED ON THIS DAY

Pinterest


On March 6, 1836, after 13 days of intermittent fighting, the
Battle
of the Alamo
came to a gruesome end and capping off a pivotal
moment in the Texas Revolution
.

Mexican forces were victorious in recapturing the fort, and nearly
all of the roughly
200 Texan defenders—including frontiersman
Davy Crockett—died.

The defense of the Alamo remains a symbol of resistance and
revolution. The battle has been immortalized in several TV
series and films, including 1960’s The Alamo, starring John
Wayne as Davy Crockett.

On December 16, 1944, the Germans launch the last major
offensive of
the war, Operation Autumn Mist, also known
as the Ardennes Offensive and the
Battle of the Bulge, an
attempt to push the Allied front line west from northern
France to northwestern Belgium. The Battle of the Bulge,
so-called because the Germans created a “bulge” around
the area of the Ardennes forest in pushing through the
American defensive line, was the largest fought on the
Western front.
