Game description: May 5, Cinco de Mayo commemorates the day in 1862 when the undermanned and ill-equipped Mexican army, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza, conquered the French forces of Napoleon III at the Battle of Puebla. The victory provided a significant morale boost to the Mexican people and came to serve as a symbol of the country's spirit and perseverance. While the holiday's roots are in Mexico, it's actually a minor holiday there and is celebrated much more in the U.S.
