Explanation:

The Texas Revolution or the Texas War of Independence was a rebellion that took place between October 2, 1835 and April 21, 1836, in the Mexican province of Texas that sought the secession of the increasingly centralist Republic of Mexico that in 1835 it had repealed the Constitution of 1824. The conflict erupted after a decade of social and cultural conflicts between the Mexican government and a growing population of English-speaking settlers. The war ended with the secession of Texas and the formation of the Republic of Texas that existed until 1845, when it was annexed to the United States.
