Feliz Cinco de mayo Americanos!!


Battle of Puebla

Cinco de Mayo was Mexico’s successful victory against the French. The U.S and Canada celebrate Cinco de Mayo, but Mexico barely celebrates it. It mostly celebrated from California, and other southwest countries

Yes sure, you can celebrate it. It’s your choice. Hispanics don’t really care about Cinco De Mayo.

Late in 1861, a well-armed French fleet attacked Veracruz, landing a large French force and driving President Juárez and his government into retreat.Moving on from Veracruz towards Mexico City, the French army encountered heavy resistance from the Mexicans close to Puebla, at the Mexican forts of Loreto and Guadalupe. The French army of 8,000 attacked the poorly equipped Mexican army of 4,000.On May 5, 1862, the Mexicans decisively defeated the French army. The victory represented a significant morale boost to the Mexican army and the Mexican people at large and helped establish a sense of national unity and patriotism.
