Americans love a good party and there is no better one to celebrate
one day in the history of Mexico
(our neighbor) when they enjoyed a major victory. City View celebrates Cinco de
Mayo.
Cinco de Mayo means the fifth of May in Spanish. It was on
May 5, 1862 that Mexico won
in battle with France
at the Battle of Puebla. According to Mexican history, the country had trouble
paying back war debts to European countries, and France
came to collect from Mexico .
Many countries have tried to invade Mexico . On this one day, May 5, Mexico won the
battle.
While many people view this day as one to gorge on the many
vibrant and tasty dishes and drinks from Mexico , we should honor the
hard-working people for their continual battle to live a good life without
political strife or corruption in their homeland. Cinco de Mayo is a day to
relax and celebrate what one hard battle means to people who fight every day
for a better life.
