Cinco de Mayo Isn’t Mexico’s Independence!

Did you know Cinco de Mayo isn’t about Mexican independence? It actually marks a single epic battle in 1862 where Mexico beat France at Puebla—led by a Texas-born general! Mexico still lost the war, but this underdog win became a symbol of resistance and pride. Now, it’s a day for both Mexicans and Americans to celebrate freedom (and throw a fiesta, of course). Next time you raise a margarita, you’ll know the real story! #CincoDeMayo #HistoryNerd #FunFact #DidYouKnow #FiestaTime #Culture
