Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo will always be a well-celebrated holiday. This is true most especially in Mexico and the United States. This is even observed all over the world. For most people, they may perceive this as an excuse to munch on a bunch of nachos and margarita. However, there is really more than that. Its true meaning should not be underestimated.
There is a wrong notion that Cinco de Mayo signifies independence. This is why it is considered independence day when it is really not. The said day is being celebrated on the 16th of September. With this the real question for those who are not from the place involved – what is the relevance of the occasion?
It was in the year 1862 when a big battle against the dominating and powerful French was witnessed in the city. This was one of their efforts to have the Mexican government forced in honoring whatever previous debts they have. The said group was trained enough for the battle. They were well-disciplined, well-armed and they have the keen ability to destroy whatever they lay eyes on. Even if this was the status though – the most shocking event occurred for the force was still defeated despite the army of Mexicans being unprepared with regard to training and equipment. This reason was enough to remember the occurrence.
The event also pressured the rising of a Great Dictator. The name of such person was Porfirio Diaz. He was the officer during the time of the war. He got to rule for a really long time that contributed to the success of the battle.
The big deal
