Cinco de Mayo.
During Cinco de Mayo? Ignacio Zaragoza is the answer.
Napoleon was indirectly involved in the Cinco de Mayo conflict through the French intervention in Mexico, which began in 1861. He sought to establish a French empire in Mexico by installing Maximilian I as emperor. The Cinco de Mayo battle in 1862, where Mexican forces defeated the French, was a pivotal moment in resisting French colonial ambitions. This event symbolized Mexican nationalism and opposition to foreign intervention.
No, Pancho Villa was not born at that time. He was the general for the Mexican-American War.
Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Battle of Puebla, fought on May 5, 1862, when Mexican forces defeated the French army led by General Charles de Lorencez. This conflict was part of Napoleon III's attempt to establish a French empire in Mexico, which included placing Archduke Maximilian of Austria on the throne. The victory at Puebla became a symbol of Mexican resistance against foreign intervention, and while Napoleon Bonaparte himself was not directly involved, his influence and the imperial ambitions of France were central to the events surrounding Cinco de Mayo.

Cinco de Mayo honors the Mexican forces that fought and won the Battle of Puebla during the French-Mexican War.
Cinco de Mayo is not a Mexican holiday. It originated in California during the 1860's and is a commemoration of the Battle of Puebla. A simple "Feliz Cinco de Mayo!" will do just fine or "Tenga un feliz Cinco de Mayo!" ("Have a happy 5th of May!") Cinco de Mayo is NOT the same as Mexican Independence Day, which takes place on September 16th and is also known as "El Grito de Dolores" ("The Shout of Dolores," referring to the cry of independence issued on that day in 1810 from the town of Dolores.)
i think they were green for good luck.
