DESCRIPTION:

A lot of Americans think Cinco de Mayo is Mexico’s Independence Day.

It’s not.

Cinco de Mayo, Spanish for the ‘5th of May’, marks the anniversary of Mexican Army's entrenchment and ultimate victory in the city of Puebla against the French army in 1862 during the Franco-Mexican War. This conflict ran concurrent with the American Civil War (1860-1864) and lasted from 1861-1867.

The French were ultimately defeated.
