Cinco de Mayo is a holiday celebrating the victory of Mexico’s army over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. While it is a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States, Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a commemoration of Mexican culture and heritage, according to History.com.
