The main event that caused the Texas Revolution against Mexico was the conflict over the Mexican government's attempts to exert control over the territory of Texas. This conflict was initially sparked by the Law of April 6, 1830, which imposed several restrictions on American settlers in Texas, such as prohibiting further immigration from the United States and increasing taxes on imported goods. These measures were seen as oppressive by many Texians (Anglo-American settlers in Texas) who had settled in the region and led to growing tensions between them and the Mexican government. Another significant event that further fueled the revolution was the military occupation of the Alamo, a former mission in San Antonio, by Mexican forces in 1835. This event resulted in the Battle of the Alamo in 1836, where Texian defenders were outnumbered and eventually defeated by Mexican forces. The Battle of the Alamo became a rallying cry for the Texian cause and further solidified their resolve to fight for independence. Ultimately, these events and others led to the Texas Revolution and the establishment of an independent Republic of Texas.
