"Cinco de Mayo: Celebrations, History, and Cultural Differences"

Cinco de Mayo is celebrated differently in Mexico and the United States. In Mexico, it commemorates the country's victory over France during the Battle of Puebla, while in the US, it celebrates Mexican culture. The day is not a federal holiday in Mexico, but it is a much bigger celebration in the US. Celebrations in the US include traditional Mexican food and drinks, mariachi music, and parades, especially in states with large Mexican-American populations.
