The history of why cinco de Mayo is important also in the states . Effecting the out come of the American civil war and also bring the question of why Mexicans are called Latins when it was a campaign of France to claim there culture as the root culture and we kicked them out of Mexico and prevented there forces from aiding the confederate In 1861, Mexico’s President, Benito Juarez took office and not without financial debt to European countries Spain, Britain and France. The three countries each sent forces to Veracuz, Mexico to settle the debt. At the convention of La Soledad, they were in agreement to handle affairs peacefully. However, French Emperor Napoleon III insisted on conquering Mexico as part of his empire-building plan which was to include a move north to assist the U.S. Confederate army. Part of the French army’s grand plan was to defeat a small army of Mexican soldiers and countrymen at Fort Guadalupe in Puebla en route to Mexico City. However, General Ignacio Zaragoza and his army at Fort Guadalupe defeated the French army in a remarkable battle. It is estimated that Zaragoza’s army consisted of 2,000 men and the French army was well over 6,000 men. This became to be known as the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. While this battle did not drive the French army out of Mexico, it did revive the Mexican forces to resist the French army. Napoleon’s plan did not succeed in Mexico therefore, they did not march in to the U.S. to lend a hand to the Confederate army which might have changed the direction of the American Civil War. The French forces were removed from Mexico six years later, in part thanks to support from the U.S. The Battle of Puebla was an unlikely victory for Zaragoza and his men. Because of this, the state of Puebla continues to celebrate on May 5th (cinco de mayo) as remembrance and to honor the soldiers and countrymen who fought and won this battle. In the U.S., Mexican-Americans tend to celebrate Mexican heritage and culture on Cinco de Mayo. Note: Mexico’s Independence Day was 52 years prior on September 16, 1810. That’s Diez y Seis.
