What year did Cinco de Mayo begin?
A paper published by the UCLA Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture states that the day first started in California in response to the resistance to the French rule in Mexico. When Mexican miners in the town of Columbia, California heard news about the resistance, they were so overjoyed that they fired off rifles and fireworks, sang patriotic songs, and made speeches. It has been celebrated in California since 1863. It was not until the 1940s, during the rise of the Chicano movement in the United States, that Cinco de Mayo started to become widely celebrated. It became even more widely celebrated in the 1980s when companies, especially beer companies, began to promote it. Interesting, in Mexico Cinco de Mayo is celebrated mainly in Puebla, where Mexican fighters won the Battle of Puebla against great odds. Cinco de Mayo is sometimes confused with Mexico's Independence Day, which occurred 50 years earlier on September on September 16th.

How long did the war of Cinco de Mayo last?
If you are asking how long cinco de mayo lasts, the answer is 24 hours, since it is the calendar day of May 5. Cinco de mayo is the anniversary of the Battle of Puebla, and that took place in 1862; so if you are asking how long ago the event was, that would be (as of this year, 2014) 152 years ago. This day as a celebration of Spanish American--and in particular, Mexican--culture is mostly something obsrved in the United States. In Mexico itself, 16 de septiembre gets much more attention.
