Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a holi.day in Mexico, primarily celebrated in the state of Puebla, with some limited recognition in other parts of Mexico.[1][2] The holi.day commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín.[3][4] The outnumbered Mexicans defeated a much better-equipped French army that had not been defeated in almost 50 years.
the common misconception is that it's a celebration for Mexico's Independence
it's a completely voluntary non-federal holi.day in Mexico, yet for some reason the U.S. has adapted it as their own sort of excuse to get drunk and eat awesome mexican food
but many parts of the world celebrate it and you should too!
edit: forgot about the word filters
