CINCO DE MAYO

On May 5, 1862, a French army approached the city of Puebla, Mexico, with intentions of invading and colonizing Mexico for the emperor Napoleon III of France. An army of guerrilleros under the command of Ignacio Zaragoza, a native of Texas, stood between the invaders and their plans. Using proven European battle tactics, the French launched repeated attacks on the fortified city. But the Mexicans held their ground, and the French retreated. Thenceforth, the day of this epic showdown came to be observed as the Cinco de Mayo, both in Mexico and in Greater Mexico, the area in the United States where people of Mexican origin reside.
