Cinco de Mayo History


 Cinco de Mayo is an annual celebration to commemorate the Mexican Army's victory over the French Army at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862 under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza. This battle provided a significant moral boost to the Mexican army as they defeated a significantly larger and more powerful army. The Mexican army was composed of 4,500 people which most of them where farmers fighting with farming tools while the French army was composed of 6,500 soldiers and yet lost the battle. 172 French soldiers where killed, 304 wounded and 35 captured. After this defeat the French had no option but to retrieve slowing them down from advancing towards Mexico City. ​
