Answer 1

Hint: The Texas War of Independence happened from 2nd October 1835 to 21st April 1836. It was a conflict between the Mexican Republic and the Republic of Texas.

Complete answer: The decisive battle of the Texas War of Independence was the Battle of San Jacinto which was fought on 21st April 1836. It was fought in the present-day Houston, Texas. The Texan army was led by General Samuel Houston, while the Mexican army was led by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. The fight is said to have lasted just 18 minutes. In the battle, General Samuel Houston defeated General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.
Option A - The Alamo - The Battle of Alamo lasted for 13 days. It became an enduring symbol for the Texans, a symbol of their heroic resistance to oppression and their struggle for independence.
Option C - Goliad - The Goliad massacre happened during the Texas Revolution. Around 445 prisoners of war of the Texan army were killed by the Mexican army in the town of Goliad, Texas
Option D - Concepcion - The Battle of Concepcion was the first major armed conflict of the Texas War of Independence. The Texans were victorious and it boosted their morale tremendously.
Therefore the correct answer is option B.

Note: The casualty figures were unusual for the time as the number of killed outnumbered the number of wounded. Texan soldiers gained the reputation of courage and militance even though less than five per cent of the Texan population enrolled in the army during the war.
