The initially Mexican-American holiday of the Cinco de Mayo has to be one of the most historically misunderstood holidays in the United States. I have frequently heard everything from it was the battle that kicked the French out of Mexico to it must be Mexican Independence Day to that was the time Mexico defeated the United States.
Much appreciated historical analysis. Thanks for sharing about your experience with Diez y Seis. Also, let’s honor the start of the Mexican Revolution too (20 November 1910).
Ah, thank you for this sir. Just the other day I asked a chum about the history of Cinco de Mayo. All he could say was that he thought it had something to do with the French.
We were eating breakfast at the time so neither of us looked up the details on our smart-phones.
