Interesting Facts
Celebrated each year on May 5th, Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico's triumph over France at the Battle of Puebla, during the Franco-Mexican War. This holiday is actually more popular in the United States than it is in Mexico. Here are some little-known Cinco de Mayo facts:
- In Mexico, the day is observed with political speeches and battle reenactments. Many of the actual celebration and battle re-enactment take place in Puebla.
- Cinco de Mayo is not a celebration of Mexicos Independence (which is actually September 16th).
- Cinco de Mayo became a popular holiday in the U.S. after President Franklin Roosevelt enacted the Good Neighbor Policy in 1933 to improve relations with Latin American countries.
