Cinco de Mayo ('The Fifth of May' in Spanish) is a national holiday in Mexico which is also widely celebrated in the United States. It commemorates the victory of Mexican forces led by General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguin over the French occupational forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. See main story: Battle of Puebla It is a common misconception that Cinco de Mayo is Mexico's Independence Day, which is celebrated on September 16th ('Dieciseis de septiembre' in Spanish), but actually it is a celebration of the battle.
