The Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, was fought during the French intervention in Mexico, primarily as a result of France's attempt to establish a monarchy under Maximilian I. Mexican forces, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza, faced a well-equipped French army seeking to capture the city of Puebla as a strategic point to advance toward Mexico City. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the Mexican troops achieved a surprising victory, which bolstered national pride and resistance against foreign intervention. This victory is commemorated annually in Mexico as Cinco de Mayo.
