What happened after Cinco de Mayo?

Answer 1

The "Cinco de Mayo" celebration commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza. The Battle was important because 4,000 Mexican soldiers defeated a much better-equipped French army composed of 8,000 men that had not been defeated for almost 50 years.

Answer 2

The Mexican forces won the Battle of Pueblo against great odds. It was fought in the French-Mexican War.

Answer 3

No war was lost on Cinco de Mayo. The French lost the Battle of Puebla to the Mexicans on that date.
