QUOTE It commemorates the victory of Mexican forces led by General Ignacio Zaragoza over the French expeditionary forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. It is a common misconception that Cinco de Mayo is Mexico's Independence Day. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinco_de_mayo it celebrates when a small Mexican army defeated a large French army. and back then, France was known to have the most powerful army. it was an important victory for the Mexicans. today in Spanish, all we did was talk about Cinco de Mayo. something intresting that we talked about was why Americans celebrate it. why do you guys think that Cinco de Mayo is sort of a national holiday here? |
