Cinco de Mayo is frequently regarded as the Mexican equivalent of the United States 4th of July. This is simply not true. Actually, it is the equivalent of the 5th of May. LOL. Of greater importance is the battle of Cinco de Mayo that occurred in 1862.

Although Juarez was recognized by the United States and had received both moral and military aid from the US, there were over $80,000,000 in debts at that time to Europe alone. The Mexican Congress in July 17, 1861 decreed the suspension for 2 years of interest payments on the external national debt, and 3 months later a convention occurred between Great Britain, France, and Spain calling for joint intervention in Mexico.

Last Post Answers: B. Good Friday On April 14, 1865, while Lincoln was watching the play "Our American Cousin", Booth sneaked into the unguarded section that the president was in. Booth raised his pistol and shot Lincoln in the head, and the bullet went through his skull and stopped behind his right eye. Booth escaped the theater (although he had a broken leg), but was later found in a tobacco barn in Virginia eight days later. A pistol went off, and no one knows if Booth was killed from a soldier's bullet, or if he committed suicide.
