What if Germany had a holiday evry time they defeated the French? Well just saying. English too for that matter. Viva a porous border.

Actually, the Mexican people. The Army was having it handed to them in the retreat west. The rurales and support of the people of Puebla (who didn't like their government or Army) really won the day.

Actually Cinco de Mayo has always been more of a Mexican American holiday in the US, and pretty much began with them. Definitely not cultural appropriation in the US -- we can always find a good reason to drink…look at St. Patrick's Day.
