Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone (and belatedly, May the Fourth Be With You)! While I will admittedly be mackin’ down on some yummy *comida mexicana* today (let’s face it: any excuse to eat tacos ?), have you ever wondered what we’re actually celebrating on the Fifth of May? Is it commemorate:
a. an indigenous religious festivity from central Mexico
b. a triumphant battle over Napoleonic forces in central Mexico
c. the signing of a peace treaty between Mexico and the United States
d. Mexican Independence Day from Spain
Please share your guesses in the comments below. And for the real story, check out this cool, informative article from *The Conversation*.
