Snippet:
Dressed in period uniforms, Mexican and French reenactors restaged the Battle of Puebla, marking the 164th anniversary of the Mexican victory led by Ignacio Zaragoza over a larger French force. The battle, fought on 5 May 1862 against troops sent by Napoleon III, remains a symbol of resistance and national pride, despite not ending the French intervention.
