Cinco de Mayo symbolises the “Mexican resistance to foreign domination of Emperor Maximilian” (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2014). In 1862, on the 5th of May, the Mexicans gained victory over the French military who served Napoleon III. This great battle took place at Puebla, located southeast of Mexico City. On this day approximately 1,000 French soldiers were killed by General, Ignacio Zaragoza’s small army.Cinco de Mayo today is a festival holiday celebrated in Mexico and large Mexican American populations. It is a day to celebrate and remember those who were led by the victorious Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza but also celebrating “the Mexican way of life”.
