What does Cinco de Mayo celebrated?
Cinco de Mayo commemorates that fateful day of May 5, 1862, on which the Battle of Puebla occurred. It was on this day that 5,000 poorly trained, ill-equipped Mexican peasants, under the command of one General Ignacio Zaragoza, fought against a regiment of French soldiers. The French were following orders of Napoleon III when they invaded Mexico and arrogantly assumed that the Mexicans would stand aside. Not only did they not stand aside, but they fought bravely and triumphed over the French. Unfortunately, the French did eventually defeat the Mexicans and occupied Mexico, but the Battle of Puebla showed the Mexican population that their people were willing to defend their country, and this gave the country a feeling of unity and strength. Cinco de Mayo is sometimes confused with Mexico's Independence Day, which occurred 50 years earlier on September on September 16th.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Tell us another!Cinco de Mayo is the anniversary of a relatively unimportant battle between Mexico and France (its only real importance is that no one expected the Mexican Army to win, and the fact that they did so delayed France's ultimate victory). It's not a big deal even in most of Mexico (where the battle was fought). I've been told by Mexican friends that it's actually a bigger deal in the US (where most people seem to think it's Mexican Independence Day, which is really September 16) than it is in Mexico.
