Such battle occurred on the outskirts of the city of Puebla (80 miles SE of Mexico City). The battle is known as the Battle of Puebla (May 5, 1862), when 4700 Mexican militiamen fought against 6,000 French soldiers. The battle is significant because France was the most powerful and best equipped military power of the time.
