Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day

A Short History Lesson:

Mexico was occupied by France for some time following the Mexican American War and the Reform War. The Mexican American War was a conflict caused by the US annexing Texas, which Mexico considered to still be it’s territory. (3) The Reform War was a civil war which was Liberals, who believed in separation of church and state and freedom of religion, versus the Conservatives who wanted a tight bond between the Roman Catholic Church and Mexico (1)

These wars left the Mexico almost bankrupt. On July 17, 1861, Mexican President Benito Juárez basically said ok, well to deal with us being almost broke all foreign debt payments will be suspended for two years. Not happy about having to wait for their money, France, Britain, and Spain sent naval forces to Veracruz to make Mexico an offer it can’t refuse. Britain and Spain negotiated with Mexico and went home, but France decided to use the opportunity to establish a Latin empire in Mexico that would have loyalty to France instead. (1)

“(Cinco de Mayo) is observed to commemorate the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla (2) on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín. In the United States, Cinco de Mayo is sometimes mistaken to be Mexico's Independence Day—the most important national holiday in Mexico, celebrated on September 16.

{ Resurface } - @queenjunko

It was frustrating not knowing your location, but it was far more frustrating to not know the people in said location. Peko had spotted several others wandering about the tropical island, none presenting much to her. Of course, she had kept far away, unaware if they were the reason she was hopelessly lost or if they were benevolent.

The Swordswoman kept her head high, though she trekked as far from the others as possible. She kept her sights forward, listening carefully to her surroundings. If someone snuck up on her, they better have an explanation or be prepared for a punch.

However, her steps stopped short when she spotted someone. Peko squinted, attempting to catch some details. Pigtails was all she caught, but what did it matter? Just another stranger to avoid. With that, she turned and began to retrace her steps, hoping to find a way to be left in peace.
