Cinco de Mayo: What happened and why the US loves it

The most important holiday no one in Mexico cares about.

Mexicans love a good holiday, so it seems strange that the one the US chooses to celebrate as much as possible is one few care about south of the border.

In this episode of Mexico: The Podcast, Tavo and Alex go back to that fateful May 5th in 1862 and ask the important questions: Why does the US love this Mexican holiday so much? What is the significance of this holiday? And why are French generals so arrogant?
