Happy Cinqo De Mayo!!
yea, i'm french, but my origins we're in canada at that time..lol...
Now history lesson for everyone:
Over 100 years ago, France started a war with Mexico. In the Mexican city of Puebla, two forts blocked the advance of the French troops. There were about 6,000 French and 2,000 Mexican soldiers. The Mexicans were under the command of General Ignacio Zaragoza.
On May 5, 1862, the French attacked the two forts. Before the day was over, one of the forts was destroyed and more than 1,000 French soldiers were killed. The Mexicans had won the battle. This battle is known as the Battle of Puebla.
The battlefield is now a city park, with a statue of General Zaragoza on horseback and a war museum that was once one of the forts the General and his men defended.
In the museum is a display of hundreds of toy soldiers arranged to show what happened during the battle.
there ya go!!!
