Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican military victory over the French forces of Napoleon III on May 5, 1862, at the Battle of Puebla. Mexican-American activists raised awareness for it in the United States in the 1960s. The day represents pride in Mexican culture and heritage.
Did you know that Cinco de Mayo is often mistaken for Mexico’s Independence Day? How about that it is celebrated more in America than in Mexico?
