The crossword clue "Site sieged by Santa Anna" with the answer "ALAMO" refers to the historic Battle of the Alamo, a pivotal event during the Texas Revolution. In 1836, General Antonio López de Santa Anna, the President of Mexico, led a large force of Mexican troops to lay siege to the Alamo, a former mission in San Antonio, Texas, which had been converted into a makeshift fort by a group of Texan revolutionaries.
Despite being vastly outnumbered, the Texan defenders, including notable figures like James Bowie, William B. Travis, and Davy Crockett, held out for 13 days before being overrun. The fall of the Alamo became a rallying cry ("Remember the Alamo!") for Texan independence and remains a symbol of bravery and resistance against overwhelming odds.
