Cinco de Mayo is a celebration held on May 5. The date is
observed to commemorate 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.
In the United States,
Cinco de Mayo is sometimes mistaken to be Mexico's Independence Day—the most
important national holiday in Mexico—which is celebrated on September 16.
