At the time, the idea of Mexico as a sovereign nation was constantly being challenged both by external and internal forces. “Since its independence, [Mexico] had been a divided country, no sense of nationhood, all kinds of political conflicts and military conflicts among themselves,” he said.

Those bonds are further strengthened by our shared history and heritage — culture, pride, and countless contributions of Mexican Americans, and the heritage and culture of an essential part of the American culture. The White House — Casa Blanca — (laughter) — is the People’s House — your house. And President López Obrador, when — he was kind enough to come up and see me here in the Oval and the White House in November.

TENORIO-TRILLO: And at some point, we will look and find out that we have a common body, that the survival of one place or the other depends on the body. And the problem is Mexico, the U.S. and Canada have share a common history for a long time. Cinco de Mayo is one of those things because it represents historically a common past between Mexican and Americans.

Although, Mexico didn't win the war, the battle was a symbolic victory and bolstered the Mexican resistance. By the end of the day France retreated after losing nearly 500 soldiers while fewer than 100 Mexicans had been killed. Approximately 6,000 French troops went to attack Puebla de Los Angeles, a small town in east-central Mexico. Juárez rounded up 2,000 loyal men, many of them Indigenous Mexicans, and sent them to Puebla. Late in 1861, a heavily armed French army landed in Veracruz forcing President Juárez and his government to retreat. In response, France, Britain, and Spain sent naval forces to Veracruz, Mexico, demanding repayment.
