"In late 1861, Napoleon III of France sent his troops to Mexico, supposedly to collect debts owed by a previous Mexican government. President Benito Juárez had agreed to pay these debts, but only in installments. The true goal of Napoleon III was to dispose of the Mexican Constitutional Government, set up a monarchy favorable to France, and then expand control to Central and South America.\n\nNapoleon III's troops occupied the port city of Veracruz on December 8, 1861. The expedition's true goal soon became apparent."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Puebla\n\nhttp://www.historychannel.com/tdih/tdih.jsp?category=general&month=10272957&day=10272970

A successful independence movement was formed when the formerly royalist commander, Col. Augustin Iturbide, allied with the revolutionary leader Vicente Guerrero in 1820.

The creole elites which had been royalists during the earlier attemps favored the Iturbide/Guerrero plan and independence.

Ulises Ruiz, whom they accuse of rigging the 2004 election that brought him to power.\n\nPoll protests block Mexico City\nThe left-wing candidate in Mexico's disputed election, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, and his backers are occupying the capital's main square and avenues.

The Russian revolution is the fundamental political and social upheaval that erupted in the Russian empire in 1917. The roots of the Russian Revolution are to be sought in the arbitrary, autocratic, and repressive czarist political and social system that evolved in the 16th – 18th century. It began with the collapse of the centuries-old czarist regime in February that led to the overthrow of the Western-style Provisional Government and the establishment of the first national communist political system in October. In the last years before World War 1 there was no reason to believe that revolution was inevitable, much less imminent in Russia. But as military defeats piled up, a progressive block was formed in the Duma (parliament that had limited power). The member of the block strove valiantly to convince the government that it must follow the example of western government to accept the voluntary cooperation of the public in coping with the inordinately difficult problems. The autocracy, jealous of its exclusive authority refused all such offers that would help his government. Rapidly the government lost all shred of public confidence. Under the czars Russia was a backward country, much of the land was in royal and private estate\n\n\n\n\n\nhttp://www.barnsdle.demon.co.uk/russ/rusrev.html

May 1st (or may day) is labor day or international worker day, it's held in several countries, not just México.\n\nMay 5th is the celebration of Puebla's battle, when Zaragoza beat the frenchs with a smaller army in some fortress in Puebla state, some compare this historic moment with El Alamo battle in the US. Since it's the same story, Zaragoza won battle, but lost the war. So, it's more like a celebration of the courage of a few to defend the country.\n\n---\nDani, Mexican independence was proclaimed in Sept. 16 of 1810 (the civil war started) and was recognize, through the Tratado de Córdoba, and promulgated in August 24 of 1821. May 5th is the battle of Puebla celebration.

You should check out a history text or Wikipedia, it is pretty good. \n\nThe French Revolution is a tricky historical event. It is very complex and quite long. It began in 1789 when Louis XVI called into session the Estates General (French Parliament). Memebers of the Third Estate (commoners mostly the bourgeoisie) chose to use the session to begin a liberal revolution.

Let's get clear some points:\n1) Mexico declare the war of independence from Spain on september 15th, 1810. Won its independence (from Spain) on september 21st, 1821.\n\n2) Mexican forces fought against the invader troops of France and won the Battle of Puebla, on May 5th, 1862. That date is celebrated since then, and nowadays it's when the mexican men, during the military service, make an oath of allegiance to the flag and country, gaining citizenship. \n\n3) Emperor Maximilian of Habsburg was overthrow and killed on 1867.

Spain, England and France... lost!!! That was mostly a financial war, so we had to pay a lot of debts... (1838)\n6) USA Intervention (1846) ... LOST (what did americans really wanted???!!! Gezz!!!)\n5) French Intervention (1864) WON!!!Whoa!!! Napoleon III, the ruler of the world, sure learned his lesson!!! Plus, we're the first (and perhaps only) american country who killed an Emperor (Maximilian of Habsburg).\n6) Mexican revolution (1910-1920). WON? LOST?... who knows??? Yeah, the civil war. We had a dictatorship... so we're still arguing if the revolution was favorable or not.\n7) USA's invasion to Veracruz Port (1914). LOST!!! What??? Mexican polices arrest an american officer for carrying a weapon without permission and uncle sam's answer is to blow up an entire city??? Gezzz!!! (Well, I guess the Empire was really worried Mexico had excellent relationships with Germany and Japan and awesome military technology before 1st. World War started ;))\n8) Second world war (1942). WON!!! Yup. Mexico, humbly but firmly collaborated with the north american armies. Because of collaborating with winner's wing, we had economical growth after the war ended.
