About the Cinco de Mayo

The Cinco de Mayo refers to the Battle of Puebla, a decisive battle fought on May 5, 1862 in Mexico by the Mexican Army against the French invaders and led by the Texas born and raised General Ignacio Zaragoza.  Though it was not the end of the war, it was the first battle the Mexicans had won.  It became known as the turning point giving hope to the Mexiican people.  The victory ignited many celebrations.  Texans and Americans are still celebrating the Cinco de Mayo - a true American tradition.
