Cinco de Mayo

Quote:

Cinco de Mayo (pronounced [ˈsiŋko ðe ˈmaʝo] in Mexico, Spanish for "Fifth of May") is an annual celebration held on May 5. The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza.[1][2] The victory of the smaller Mexican force against a larger French force was a boost to morale for the Mexicans. Zaragoza died months after the battle due to illness. A year after the battle, a larger French force defeated the Mexican army at the Second Battle of Puebla, and Mexico City soon fell to the invaders.

In the United States, Cinco de Mayo has taken on a significance beyond that in Mexico.[3][4][5][6] More popularly celebrated in the United States than Mexico,[7] the date has become associated with the celebration of Mexican-American culture. These celebrations began in California, where they have been observed annually since 1863. The day gained nationwide popularity in the 1980s thanks especially to advertising campaigns by beer and wine companies. Today, Cinco de Mayo generates beer sales on par with the Super Bowl.

Too bad y’all are back to sucking German sausage ding dongs.

German sausage is good tho can you blame us

I prefer to have my sausage polished.

Heyo!

PS, Cinco de Mayo isn't Mexican Independence Day, that's in September. Cinco de Mayo is about preventing or ending a civil war, which then led to the unity that led to independence later on or some **** like that.

As a proud American I confidently ask where the hell France even came from? Wasn't Mexico a Spanish colony? The **** happened?
