What is Cinco de Mayo? Some people believe it is the day of independence for Mexice, but that is in Septmeber. So what is it all about then? It is a holiday that celebrates the Battle of Puebla. Against all odd the people of Puebla won the battle against a much larger French Army. This battle occured in 1862 on the fifth of May. This is what it being celebrated a great victory in Mexican history. It is a miracle that they were victorious even though the Mexicans of Peubla were out-gunned and out-manned. So Cinco de Mayo isn't a holiday that celebrates Mexican Independence. It celebrates courage, valor, and hope shown by the people of Mexico
!Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
Happy fifth of May!
