It is actually called cinco de mayo, and is a holiday that Mexicans in Latin American and Mexican Americans celebrate. It is a commemoration of the defeat of the French troops in 1816 at the Battle of Puebla. http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/en...

I believe it was when the Mexicans held the French at bay and won victory against them at a particular base (Santa something), which started the turn of that war - the Mexicans eventually gained their independence at the end.

it's like the fourth of july for the U.S.
