This Dave In History with Dave Jay

Cinco de Mayo (The Real Story)


Listen Later

Cinco de Mayo IS NOT about Mexican independence. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Battle of Puebla - just one battle in a story involving the Mexican civil war (Reform War), the American civil war, a coup, Napoleon III, Archduke Maximilian, and France's last-ditch effort to colonize the Americas. 

On This Dave In History comedian Dave Jay and a rotating cast of dummies talk history. Don't fact check us.
