Cinco de Mayo History

Published : 6:51 PM Author : Maria

I would like to greet all mexicans and mexican in heart a happy happy cinco de Mayo.

According to wikipedia, Cinco de Mayo is a voluntarily-observed holiday that commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín. It is celebrated primarily in the state of Puebla and in the United States. While Cinco de Mayo has limited significance nationwide in Mexico, the date is observed in the United States and other locations around the world as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day,the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico.
