What happened a year after the "glorious victory" by the Mexicans...? The opposing French TOOK OVER THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.
Most Mexicans DO NOT EVEN KNOW the significance of "Cinqo de Mayo" --to them it's the 5th day in a sequence of days in the month of May --NOTHING MORE.
Same with St. Patricks' Day --mostly not known in Ireland.
