Cinco De Mayo is celebrated because at the time, 1862, France had the best military and Mexico owed alot of money toward European countries including France. Mexico, however, didn't have any money, so President Jaurez, the leader decided to pay two years later. No one was happy with that so France and only France arrived at Puebla on May fourth, and attacked on May fifth, Cinco De Mayo. Although France had the best military, they didn't prepare as much as they would have liked, for they underestimated Mexican forces. The Mexicans won, France returned sooner later, invaded Mexico, no one liked it, Mexico had smaller attacks, France returned home because the French leader, Napolean the 3rd, feared for an attack. We celebrate Cinco De Mayo, May fifth, because Mexico won over France. (Of course, that didn't last long. :) Comments are closed.
