Cinco de Mayo is celebrated annually on May 5th. It is a celebration of the Mexican victory over the French in the battle of Puebla on May 5th, 1862. An underdog Mexican force, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza defeated the well trained forces of Napolean III's French army. The victory symbolized Mexico's resistance to foreign occupation, it's patriotism and unity.
