Mexican opinion... mexican of fourth generation...
I've read several comments about 5 de Mayo, and my opinion as Mexican (you can see that as a true spanish speaker i use, instead of .)is that in Mexico we do celebrate 5 de Mayo. Why?? Because it was an STOP sign for europeans... America was no longer a territory to conquer but to fight war against stablished nations with professional armies, population, government and all resources available in Europe. After that war very few europeans countries came back to fight... like England did in Las Malvinas against Argentina... 5 de Mayo is not a minor celebration in Mexico... is not as big like independence day but still is big enough... "Las armas mexicanas se han cubierto de gloria" (Mexican arms have been covered by glory) was the telegram sent by General Zaragoza after the battle in Puebla... there laid the bodies of 8000 frenches (the finest warriors at that time...). And then France sent 30,000 more soldiers and conquered the country, therefore we have these beautiful blond and charmed girls in Guadalajara... cheers for history!!
