4C,
I couldn´t stop thinking today that I forgot something at school and thankfully I´ve just remembered. Today is an important day in Mexico (a national holiday) but it is NOT Mexican indepdendance day as some people think (that is the 16th September).
"Cinco de Mayo" is celebrated more in America than in Mexico but as it is a national holiday, many people do traditional things.
Today celebrates the Battle of Puebla (on 5th May 1862)when Mexico defended its city of Puebla against French troops. Mexico didn´t expect to win because there were about 6000 French soldiers and only 2000 Mexican soldiers.
This is the information I found on the internet and remember that we have to be very careful when using secondary sources.
