1. Apostrophes. Please.
2a. Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexico's victory over the French in a localized battle which, in Mexico, is only celebrated in that region. It is only a national holiday in the USA, because, like "Saint Patrick's Day," it is considered a reason to drink.
2b. The battle itself was nominally inconclusive. As you might imagine in a battle between the Mexicans and the French, nobody knew what the heck was going on.
3. Yes, even Mexicans can kick France's ass in battle. Sort of.
And that's all you need to know about Cinco de Mayo.
With compliments, G.

May I suggest you read about what happened between the French and Mexicans at Camerone April 30 1863. Good post.

That reminds of a joke...the French general asked why the British soldiers wear red uniforms. The answer given to him was that it prevented panic among other soldiers if one of them was injured in battle and bleeding badly. The French general promptly ordered brown uniforms for his soldiers.
