In 1862, Mexicans were elated
As the French army was decimated
Today is Cinco de Mayo
Tacos—free Pico de gallo!
The Battle of Puebla is celebrated
Emperor Maximillian was fooled
by the Mexicans he thought he ruled
Carlota, the Queen, insane
Died back in France from her pain
After a firing squad had ensued
Note: The Chapultepec Castle:
Maximilian and Carlota´s Love Story
