Do some people in the U.S. confuse Cinco de Mayo with Mexico’s Independence Day? Hi! I'm from Mexico, and since today is Cinco de Mayo, I ended up seeing a lot of jokes about it online, which made me curious I've seen people joke about some in the U.S. thinking it's Mexico’s Independence Day, but I'm not sure how accurate that actually is From your experience, is that something that really happens, or is it mostly an internet exaggeration? In Mexico, we honestly don't even celebrate that day, except for Puebla, which is where the battle against France actually took place
Today in history: May 5, 1862, a smaller Mexican force defeats a larger French army at the Battle of Puebla, a victory immortalized as Cinco de Mayo.

Nobody Going to Remind Pierre? Today is May the 5th, also known as Cinco de Mayo. It was this day when “Short King” Jose put a beat down on “Limp Wristed” Pierre. “Cinco de Mayo marks the anniversary of the 1862 victory by Mexican troops over invading French forces at the Battle of Puebla. The triumph over the better-equipped and much larger French troops was an enormous emotional boost for Mexican soldiers led by Gen. Ignacio Zaragoza.” If you don’t know, now you know. submitted by /u/LoLBrah69 to r/2wester
