On May 5, Cinco de Mayo is held to commemorate the Battle of Puebla. That is the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the French invasion in 1862. That is not the first time France has attacked Mexico. During the conflict between 1838 and 1839, France invaded and occupied the Mexican city of Veracruz. In 1861, France invaded Mexico again.
