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.

Why did Japan enter a period of isolation ? Please explain clearly ! Thanks brainly students ! :D
lozanna [386]
Japan entered a time of Isolation around the 1600s for 200 years aka Sakoku (which means sealed/closed or locked country in Japanese:D ). 

The reason for this goes back when Commodore Perry, who I think was an American came and interacted with them that resulted in the English, Spanish, and Portuguese coming to trade with them. At first, the Japanese were glad because they received a lot of new tech things that they did not have before such as clocks and much more. But then missionaries started pouring in and at first, the Japanese were fine with it but when a lot of Japanese people started converting to Christianity, the Daimyo of Japan at that time say a threat to his power and the unity of the people so he made a decision to kick out all westerners and close the borders. This resulted in the 200 years of isolation but they were not completely isolated because they kept one shipping port open and that was ONLY to trade with the Portuguese, Chinese, and Koreans. 

This is pretty much the basic details of what I can tell you but I hope that you learned something from this:) <span />
