The Mexican government refused to recognize independence and established a provisional local government, but it did not succeed in controlling the revolution that had broken out, prompting President Antonio López de Santa Anna to pledge that he would personally take Texas back. The Mexican Army entered Texas in mid-February 1836 and found Texans at the lowest levels of readiness, overpowering them in the Goliad Campaign and executing all Texans who had surrendered. Santa Anna also led another campaign at the Battle of the Alamo in which all the defending soldiers were also killed.
The following month, the New Texas Army, led by Sam Houston, launched a surprise attack on Mexican forces at the Battle of San Jacinto that eliminated most of the Mexican army and captured Santa Anna, and in exchange for his release ordered the Mexican army to retreat south and the Republic of Texas was established.
