Cinco de Mayo 2025: Origin
This particular occasion, often confused with the Mexican Independence Day, is recognized as the history of the great victory of Mexican troops in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.
According to the New York Times, several historians claimed that after hearing the victory, some Mexican-American miners fired in the air in Columbia, California, marking the first major celebration in Mayo, New York City.
Despite the defeat in the war in Puebra, the French side lasted in the country for several years before deciding to leave it. Napoleon III is believed to have aspired to establish a French empire in Latin America. To achieve this dream, he was said to have placed about 8,000 to 10,000 soldiers in Mexico.
