Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo marks a defining moment in history: on May 5, 1862, a smaller Mexican force defeated the French army at the Battle of Puebla, slowing France"s attempt to expand its control over the country. It"s not Mexico"s Independence Day—that"s celebrated in September—but a symbol of resilience that later took on special meaning in the United States, where it grew into a celebration of Mexican heritage and culture.
