The City of Puebla (some 60 miles SE of Mexico City) is the background of one of the most important battles of all time. On the 5th of May, 1862 the French Army (the world's best at the time, armed with cavalry and high-precision rifles) lost to Mexican militias composed mostly of huarache-wearing, machete-bearing indians. That is why many Mexicans celebrate the all-too-famous "Cinco de Mayo" (May the Fifth): because it is comparable to a bunch of militiamen defeating the US army on an open field battle.
