image creditCinco de Mayo (Spanish for 'fifth of May') is a holiday celebrated in the United States and primarily limited to the state of Puebla in Mexico. The holiday commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of
Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín.
Because the origins of Cinco de Mayo are in Mexico, some people are fairly misinformed about what Cinco de Mayo actually is and why it is celebrated. Here are 13 fun facts about Cinco de Mayo.
