5 de Mayo: More than a Battle, a Celebration of Resistance
5 May is a date that evokes a crucial moment in Mexico's history: the Battle of Puebla. However, it is often confused with Mexico's Independence Day, which is celebrated on 16 September. It is important to clarify that 5 May commemorates the Mexican victory over the French army at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, and not the country's independence.
