Cinco de Mayo is celebrated because of the Mexican victory over the French army at the Battle of Puebla. Most people don't know that, they think that Cinco de Mayo is the day that Mexico gained its independence.

Commercial interests in the United States and Mexico have also been successful in promoting the holiday, with products and services focused on Mexican food, beverages and festivities, with music playing a more visible role as well. Several cities throughout the U.S. hold parades and concerts during the week following up to May 5th, so that Cinco de Mayo has become a bigger holiday north of the border than to the south, and adopted into the holiday calendar of more and more people every year.

The holiday of Cinco De Mayo, The 5th Of May, commemorates the victory of
the Mexicans 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 recognition in other
parts of the 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, but is like our 4th of July for all the
Mexicans
Setting The Stage
The battle at Puebla in 1862 happened at a violent and chaotic time in
Mexico's history. Mexico had finally gained independence from Spain in 1821
after a difficult and bloody struggle, and a number of internal political
takeovers and wars, including the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) and the
Mexican Civil War of 1858, had mostly wiped out the national economy.
During this period of struggle Mexico had accumulated heavy debts to several
nations, including Spain, England and France, who were demanding payment.
Similar debt to the U.S. was previously settled after the Mexican-American
War. France was eager to add to its empire at that time, and used the debt
issue to move forward with goals of establishing its own leadership in
Mexico. Realizing France's intent of empire expansion, Spain and England
withdrew their support. When Mexico finally stopped making any loan
payments, France took action on it's own to install Napoleon's relative,
Archduke Maximilian of Austria, as ruler of Mexico.
Maximilian's rule of Mexico was also short lived, from 1864 to 1867. With
the American Civil War now over, the U.S. began to provide more political
and military assistance to Mexico to expel the French, after which
Maximilian was executed by the Mexicans - today his bullet riddled shirt is
on display in the museum at Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City. So despite
the eventual French invasion of Mexico City, Cinco de Mayo honors the
bravery and victory of General Zaragoza's small, outnumbered militia at the
Battle of Puebla in 1862 and independents from the French Monarchy
The 5th of May is not Mexican Independence Day, but it should be! And Cinco
de Mayo is not an American holiday, but it should be. Mexico declared its
independence from mother Spain on midnight, the 15th of September, 1810.
And it took 11 years before the first Spanish soldiers were told and forced
to leave Mexico. The Independents from the French was a lot faster
