¡HOY ES EL CINCO DE MAYO!
Cinco de Mayo (the "Fifth of May" in Spanish)
commemorates Mexico's victory over French forces in the Battle of Puebla on May
5, 1862. Unfortunately, this initial victory was short-lived. The French
onslaught continued, and French forces ultimately succeeded in gaining control
of the country and occupying it until 1867.
Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day, as some assume. Mexico had officially gained its independence from Spain some four decades before the conflict with France . Mexico celebrates September 16 -- the anniversary of the start of its War for Independence from Spain -- as its Independence Day (called "Grito de Dolores").
In the United States and in other parts of the world, it has developed into a celebration of Mexican heritage and of all things Latino.
