They didn't. At the end, they were expelled from Mexico but the war lasted for six years (1861-1867).

What does the battle of Puebla represent for Mexicans?

It was an astonishing victory for Mexico, at a time when the French army was considered the best in the world, and hadn't been defeated for more than 50 years. It was also the first time Mexico had won against such odds (4500 Mexicans vs. 6500 Frenchmen). It was also important because the rest of the world expected a quick defeat for Mexico; instead it marked the beginning of a relatively long war (1861-1867) which at the end, was lost by France.

Can my grandmother acquire french citizenship if her mother was fully french and through her can i acquire it too?

Your grandmother may become French. If she is living abroad, she has to apply in a French consulate. She wil be given a dossier to fill and return. The most important document is the one that proves her mother had French citizenship. Expect a rather long process before she is finally vetted and agreed as French. Then your parents (at least one of them), will have to follow the same process. Expect a even longer process. Finally when all this is done, you will be allowed to apply in turn.
