There was little time to get an army ready. Santa Anna's forces already were in Texas, in San Antonio.

组成军队的时间不多了。桑塔·安纳的军队已经到了德州圣安东尼奥市。

The Texans called a meeting to write a letter to Santa Anna. They asked him to change the cruel laws ordered by Bustamante.

德州人召开会议给桑塔·安纳写信。他们要求他更改布斯塔曼特制定的残酷法律。

Whoa. Uh, general Santa Anna, right?

你扮的是圣安纳将军对吧？

Most Texans believed the war had been won. But Houston knew Santa Anna would not give up Texas so easily. Houston continued to build an army.

多数德州人认为战争已经赢了，但是休斯顿知道桑塔·安纳不会这么容易放弃德州。休斯顿继续组建军队。

On February 23, 1836, Santa Anna's forces reached  the small mission-turned-fort called the Alamo, which the Texans had captured.

1836 年 2 月 23 日，圣安娜的部队到达了德克萨斯人占领的名为阿拉莫的小型任务堡垒。

Santa Anna and his men arrived at El Alamo, a  Spanish mission in what is now San Antonio, Texas.

圣安娜和他的手下抵达了埃尔阿拉莫，这是一个位于现在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥的西班牙传教士。

In December of 1835, Santa Anna assembled an army of about six thousand  troops and embarked on an expedition toward Texas.

1835 年 12 月，圣安娜集结了一支约有 6000 名士兵的军队，开始向德克萨斯州远征。

With his official comeback at the head of Mexican politics, Santa Anna ordered  his armies to carry out raids on Texas.

随着他正式回归墨西哥政坛，圣安娜命令他的军队对德克萨斯进行突袭。

Meanwhile, Santa Anna had redeemed himself after  leading the Mexicans in a short war against the French, known as the Pastry War.

与此同时，圣安娜在带领墨西哥人与法国人进行了一场名为糕点战争的短暂战争后救赎了自己。

Infuriated by the defeat, Mexico underwent yet another revolt, deposing  and forcing Santa Anna into exile in late 1844. He would be back, though.

被失败激怒的墨西哥又一次起义，在 1844 年底罢免并迫使圣安娜流放。不过他会回来的。

And so it  happened that during a military uprising in 1841, Santa Anna swept in as the provisional  president, ultimately transforming the country into another dictatorship for three years.

因此，在 1841 年的一次军事起义中，圣安娜以临时总统的身份横空出世，最终将这个国家变成了另一个长达三年的独裁政权。

Even though the  garrison had received some minor reinforcements, Santa Anna's troops were able to finally take the  fort on March 6, losing between five hundred and six hundred men in the process.

尽管驻军得到了一些小规模增援，但圣安娜的部队最终还是在 3 月 6 日攻占了堡垒，在此过程中损失了 560 人。

Furthermore, the Texans managed to avenge their fallen brothers  at the decisive Battle of San Jacinto, where about 900 Texans managed to defeat an army of about  1,350 Mexicans and captured 700, including Santa Anna.

此外，德克萨斯人在决定性的圣哈辛托战役中设法为死去的兄弟报仇，大约 900 名德克萨斯人击败了一支由大约 1,350 名墨西哥人组成的军队并俘虏了 700 人，其中包括圣安娜。

After weeks of negotiations, they set Santa  Anna free on June 1, 1836, and according to the Treaties of Velasco that Santa Anna signed,   Mexico would remove troops from the region, establishing a new unofficial border with Texas.

经过数周的谈判，他们于 1836 年 6 月 1 日释放了圣安娜，根据圣安娜签署的贝拉斯科条约，墨西哥将从该地区撤军，与德克萨斯建立新的非官方边界。
