Cinco de Mayo is not about Tacos, Fiestas or even Mexican Independence. 5 de Mayo commemorates the Batalla de Puebla. A battle in 1862 where Mexico defeated the French armies during the Franco-Mexican War, this holiday is also known as the Battle of Puebla Day. This day represented a great symbolic victory for the Mexican government and bolstered the resistance movement. In 1867 France finally withdrew. Happy 5 de Mayo! #5deMayo #BattleofPuebla #MexicanHistory #alpfamilia
