Battle of Puebla
The Battle of Puebla was fought on 5 May 1862 during the French intervention in Mexico, when Mexican troops under General Ignacio Zaragoza repulsed a French assault on the forts above Puebla. Although the French took Puebla the following year, the victory became a national symbol of resistance. It is commemorated as Cinco de Mayo.
