This Day in History: Today is Cinco de Mayo, a day that celebrates the Battle of Puebla in 1862 where the Mexicans defeated the French. The day is not only popular in the United States, but also in Vancouver Canada, the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Brisbane Australia, London, New Zealand, Cape Town South Africa, Lagos Nigeria, Paris, and even in Osaka & Tokyo Japan. The funny thing is that it is not that popular in Mexico, and is only really celebrated in the state of Puebla.
