Cinco de Mayo is an annual celebration that marks the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the French Empire in 1862 at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. Despite being outnumbered, the Mexicans managed to hold Puebla, and the French army retreated. It was an unbelievable victory for the Mexican forces, underdogs who defeated one of the most powerful armies in the world. While it’s not a significant holiday in Mexico, Cinco de Mayo has become an annual celebration of Mexican American culture in the United States.
The correct answer is France.
