The Final PieceThe 5th of May is not Mexican Independence Day, but it should be! And Cinco de
Mayo is not an American holiday, but it should be. Mexico declared its independence from
mother Spain on midnight, the 15th of September, 1810. And it took 11 years before the first
Spanish soldiers were told and forced to leave Mexico.
So, why Cinco de Mayo? And why should Americans savor this day as well?
Because 4,000 Mexican soldiers smashed the French and traitor Mexican army of 8,000 at
Puebla, Mexico, 100 miles east of Mexico City on the morning of May 5, 1862.
The French had landed in Mexico (along with Spanish and English troops) five
months earlier on the pretext of collecting Mexican debts from the newly elected government of
democratic President (and Indian) Benito Juarez. The English and Spanish quickly made deals
and left. The French, however, had different ideas.
Under Emperor Napolean III who detested the United States, the French came to
stay. They brought a Hapsburg prince with them to rule the new Mexican empire. His name
was Maximilian; his wife, Carolota. Napoleon's French Army had not been defeated in 50
years, and it invaded Mexico with the finest modern equipment and with a newly reconstituted
Foreign Legion. The French were not afraid of anyone, especially since the United States was
embroiled in its own Civil War.
