In 1865, on the fifth of May, Mexican patriots drove out the French. Now that's a holiday! [/quote]
El Cinco de Mayo is celebrated more in the US than in Mexico. Not many Mexicans celebrate it and that's because it's a regional holiday not a nation holiday.

El nombre Carrie es traducible. Es Carié.

The French were in viloation of the Monore Doctrine. So maybe it was good for the French they fought the Mexicans and not the battlehardened Union forces. [/quote]
Correct! The Battle Of Puebla in 1862.
