On 24th February 1836 William Barret Travis, the commander of the Texican Rebels sent a desperate plea for his besieged soldiers at Alamo, an old Spanish fortress and mission. He was a Lieutenant Colonel in San Antonio with command of the Texas Regular Troops. 
He sought military reinforcement by dispatching several messages seeking assistance, i.e, "The people of Texas and all Americans in the world" was the most famous address to the people of Texas, and further signed "Victory or Death". Only 35 people went to assist and on 6th March the Mexicans stormed the Alamo where Travis and 190 other soldiers were killed.
Travis defense of the Alamo became symbolic and significant behind the rallying for the Texas revolution whereby April the Texas people and countrymen of Travis fought the Mexicans and gained their independence.

Marat540 [252]
The League of Nations was weakened by it because the founder of the League (President Woodrow Wilson) was American, and his own country wouldnt join it. The League's power was called into question, and their military strength was made significantly weaker. Their only peacemaking strategy was through economic sanctions (so they really didn't have much power at all over other nations). Basically, it was because other nations that had played significant roles in the first world war refused to join/weren't allowed to join the League (ex. Germany and Russia) that led to its demise.
