Answer 1

(d) They were greatly outnumbered

Explanation:

• A crucial incident in the Texas revolution was the Alamo War (23 February–6 March 1836). The Alamo mission near San Antonio de Béxar (a Mexican adept and cunning politician/general who dominated Mexican history and who fought for Mexican independence) was recovered by the Mexican troops under President Antonio López de Santa Anna after the 13-day sieges, killing the Texan occupiers and the refugees. Many Texans, both lawful Texas settlers and illegal immigrants from America, were motivated to join the Texan Army by the cruelties of Santa Anna  during the war. Fostered by a desire for vengeance, on April 21, 1836, at the close of the rebellium, the Texans defeated the Mexican Army.
• Texans had pushed all Mexican forces out of Mexico's Texas several months ago. There were then about 100 Texans guarded in the Alamo. With the arrival of the reinforcements led by eventual Alamo co-commanders James Bowie and William B. Travis, the Texian force grew slightly. In a retake movement for Texas on February 23, some 1.500 Mexicans marched in San Antonio de Béxar. The two armies took part in different skirmishes for the next 10 days with minor injuries.
• Knowing that his garrison was unable to withstand such a great force attack, Travis wrote several letters requesting more men and equipment from Texas and the United States but Texans were reinforced by less than 100 troops, as the USA had a treaty with Mexico and that it would have been an open act of war to supply troops and guns.
• The Mexican Army marched on Alamo in the early hours of March 6. The Texans could not ward off a third attack after repelling two assaults. The majority of Texian warriors fled into interior buildings as Mexican soldiers scaled the walls. The Mexican cavalry slain occupiers who could not meet those points while attempting to run. Between five and seven Texans may have gone; if so, they would have been executed rapidly. Most testimonies claimed that Texans were killed from 182 to 257, although other Alamo historians believe that about 600 Mexicans were killed or injured.
• Several noncombatants have been sent to Gonzales to spread the Texan defeat's title. The news gave a quick rush for membership (which had never been officially proclaimed but not recognized) in the Texan Army, but also a panic, named "The Runaway Scrape," where Texas army, most of the settlers in the nation and the new government of the Texas flew east to the United States in the lead of the advancing Mexican Army.
