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.
