Most Americans think it marks the Mexican independence from Spain. However, that happened on September 16th.
The Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza.

∙ 12y agoThe biggest misconception about Cinco De Mayo, is that most ppl think that it is Mexicos Independence Day. IT IS NOT! It is called, " The Day of The Dead". It is where the Mexicans celebrate the dead. To them it is a day of celebration. Some cry and some party!
