Oh puleeze!

May 5th a Mexican army unit defeated a vastly outnumbered French unit. That is all.

THAT is Mexico's great(est) military victory.

“May 5th a Mexican army unit defeated a vastly outnumbered French unit. That is all.”

Actually Napoleon’s troops outnumbered the Mexicans 5:1.

It was actually more important for the USA, than Mexico, as this slowed the French support of the Confederacy.
