What is Cinco de Mayo?

Here in the United States, we tend to think of Cinco de Mayo as an excuse to hang with friends and pig out on chips, salsa, and margaritas -- but believe it or not, that's not actually what the day is about.

Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday (you probably knew that) that celebrates the [surprising] victory of the Mexican Army over the French on May 5th, 1862.

General Ignacio Zaragoza led an attack in the small village of Puebla, hoping to slow down the French army’s advancement toward Mexico City.

This was a particularly big deal because the Mexicans were greatly outnumbered by the France’s army -- and the French had not lost a battle in over fifty years.

The fifth of May -- the date of the Battle of Puebla -- was declared a national holiday by President Juarez in September of that year.
