Happy Cinco De Mayo – What is Cinco De Mayo Anyways

Cinco de Mayo, which means the 5th of May in Spanish, is celebrated here in America, but many Americans are clueless to what it really means.

The origin goes back to Mexico,  when on May 5th, 1862, the Mexican army was successful in defeating French of led by Napoleon III at The Battle of Puebla.

Mexico had troubles paying back war debts to European countries, and France had come to Mexico to collect that debt.

So when you raise that glass of Margarita or down your second bittle of Tequila, you now have an idea why you’re getting drunk.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
