Porfirio Díaz, the Mexican president during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, played a significant role in shaping the national recognition of Cinco de Mayo. While the holiday originally commemorated the Mexican victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, Díaz promoted it as a symbol of national pride and unity during his regime. He used the celebration to foster a sense of nationalism and to distract from social and political issues in the country. Thus, under Díaz, Cinco de Mayo evolved into an important national holiday in Mexico.
