Cinco de Mayo, which translates to the "Fifth of May" in Spanish, commemorates Mexico’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. This battle was important as it bolstered Mexican morale and was a triumphant victory against a larger and better-equipped army. Today, Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, not just in Mexico but also in the U.S. The day is marked with parades, music, dancing, Cinco de Mayo food, and events that showcase Mexican pride.
