The holiday of Cinco De Mayo, The 5th Of May,
commemorates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at
The Battle Of Puebla in 1862. It is primarily a regional holiday
celebrated in the Mexican state capital city of Puebla
and throughout the state of Puebla, with some 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.
