Cinco de Mayo

The battle cry of Cinco de Mayo is "¡Viva México!" which translates to "Long live Mexico!" This phrase was famously shouted by Mexican soldiers during the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, as they fought against French forces. The celebration commemorates Mexico's unexpected victory, symbolizing national pride and resistance against foreign intervention. Today, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated not only in Mexico but also in the United States, highlighting Mexican culture and heritage.

"5th of May"

The City of Puebla (some 60 miles SE of Mexico City) is the background of one of the most important battles of all time. On the 5th of May, 1862 the French Army (the world's best at the time, armed with cavalry and high-precision rifles) lost to Mexican militias composed mostly of huarache-wearing, machete-bearing indians. That is why many Mexicans celebrate the all-too-famous "Cinco de Mayo" (May the Fifth): because it is comparable to a bunch of militiamen defeating the US army on an open field battle.

The reasons Cinco de Mayo is celebrated do not change over time, though the way it is celebrated might and it may be celebrated in more places over time. It is basically a Mexican holiday that is celebrated mainly around the town of Puebla in Mexico and by Mexican-Americans in the United States.

Cinco de Mayo means May 5. It is significant in Mexico's history because Mexican forces were victorious against the French in the Battle of Pueblo during the French-Mexican War on May 5, 1862.
