(What is Cinco de Mayo?) Did you answer that it is a celebration for Mexico‛s Independence Day? ¡No es correcto! Read on… The holiday of Cinco de Mayo, The 5th Of May, celebrates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle of Puebla in 1862. It is mainly a regional holiday celebrated in Puebla, Mexico. It is also celebrated with limited recognition in other parts of Mexico, and especially in U.S. cities with a significant Mexican population. It is not, as many people think, Mexico's Independence Day, which is actually September 16!
