The United States celebrates Cinco de Mayo primarily to honor Mexican Culture and heritage, particularly in regions with significant Mexican-American populations. The holiday commemorates the Mexican victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, symbolizing resistance and resilience. In the U.S., it has evolved into a broader celebration of Mexican culture, featuring music, food, and festivities, reflecting the influence of Mexican immigrants and their contributions to American society.
