While often mistaken for Mexican Independence Day, which is actually celebrated on September 16th, Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Battle of Puebla (Batalla de Puebla). On this day in 1862, a small Mexican army of 4,000 soldiers led by General Ignacio Zaragoza faced off against an 8,000-strong French army in the city of Puebla. Despite being greatly outnumbered and ill-equipped, the Mexican army emerged victorious in what would become an iconic moment of Mexican resistance against foreign invasion. This victory was significant, especially as France had not suffered a defeat in almost 50 years. The Battle of Puebla became an inspiration to the Mexican people, who celebrated the bravery of their soldiers and their determination to defend their country's sovereignty. However, the victory at the Battle of Puebla was short-lived, as France would later regain control over Mexico. After the victory at the Battle of Puebla, the Mexican army continued to resist the French invasion, but they were eventually defeated. The French army returned with reinforcements and captured Mexico City in 1863. This marked the beginning of a period of French rule in Mexico, which lasted for several years. The French installed a puppet emperor, Maximilian I, on the throne of Mexico. However, Maximilian's reign was not popular, and he faced opposition from Mexican revolutionaries who wanted to restore the country's independence. The Mexican people continued to resist French rule, and in 1867, with the support of the United States, they overthrew Maximilian and his government. The victory over Maximilian's forces marked the end of the French intervention in Mexico, and the country was able to regain its independence. The Battle of Puebla remained an important symbol of Mexican resistance against foreign invasion, and it continued to inspire the Mexican people in their struggle for freedom. https://generalmaximocastillo.com/blog/one-kind-faced-man monthly 0.5 2023-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601ef0747dc49320d38a7b73/26c00a65-1e35-4657-9b92-d04a8bc84fbe/luz+corral+de+villa.jpg Blog - “One Kind-Faced Man” he was Maximo Castillo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://generalmaximocastillo.com/blog/maximo-emiliano-zapata monthly 0.5 2023-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601ef0747dc49320d38a7b73/2021b183-4a91-4ee5-a72a-383e78d823e9/Emiliano+Zapata+%2B+Castillo.jpg Blog - General Máximo Castillo aligned with Emiliano Zapata - Make it stand out Emiliano Zapata photos are courtesy of Edgar Castro-Zapata. https://generalmaximocastillo.com/blog/maximo-luz-corral-villa monthly 0.5 2023-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601ef0747dc49320d38a7b73/ca5fb383-bdc0-4b86-a113-11750102a1f0/luz+corral+de+villa+2.jpg Blog - Máximo rescues Luz Corral de Villa - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://generalmaximocastillo.com/blog/maximo-at-odds-villa monthly 0.5 2023-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601ef0747dc49320d38a7b73/63875381-0925-4b3b-96a3-d7160e22278e/Francisco++Villa.jpg Blog - Villa at odds with Máximo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://generalmaximocastillo.com/blog/general-maximo-castillo-timeline monthly 0.5 2023-10-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601ef0747dc49320d38a7b73/1614287953678-4QQ4X3AZFV2NDZF7UZ8X/Home_GMC.jpg Blog - General Máximo Castillo: A Life of Resilience, Revolution, and Redemption - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://generalmaximocastillo.com/blog/about-general-maximo-castillo monthly 0.5 2023-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601ef0747dc49320d38a7b73/be573496-2427-444d-867d-f39ff092fdd8/2023-10-23+09.47.58.jpg Blog - The Inspiring Journey of General Máximo Castillo - The life of General Máximo Castillo is a remarkable tale of resilience and an unwavering spirit, characterized by a deep dedication to fighting for the rights and well-being of his people.

The attackers set fire to a railroad tunnel called La Cumbre shortly after a passenger train entered it and then dynamited both ends, causing the passengers to die from burns or suffocation. Another version is that after robbing a train, they placed one of the engines in the opposite direction, and when the other train with passengers approached, it collided with the oncoming engine, resulting in many deaths. The attack occurred in a region where Castillo operated, so he was blamed for it, although he always denied any involvement. Later, Mexican investigators identified the perpetrator of the robbery and explosion as a local bandit named Manuel Gutiérrez," Luz Corral y Villa noted.

Not that I am afraid, but I just want to know if this is true. I don't think it is possible that any civilized nation would send a man to his death without a hearing. I am not responsible for the Cumbre tunnel disaster, I was not there at the time, and I can prove it by the American citizens Walter Cohen of Alamo Hueco, the American Administrator of San Pedro; L.A. Ross of Coralitos, and many others of my American friends. Since before Christmas, I have not been out of a territory roughly bounded by Palomas, Ascencion, Corralitos, and San Pedro. I have spent most of my time between Palomas and Asencion. I did not even hear of the Cumbre disaster until twelve days ago, when word was brought to me from the American side, at the same time that Villa's soldiers began to press my men hard," Castillo said. https://generalmaximocastillo.com/blog/category/History monthly 0.5 https://generalmaximocastillo.com/blog/tag/Roger+Ekirch monthly 0.5 https://generalmaximocastillo.com/blog/tag/Fernando+Castillo monthly 0.5 https://generalmaximocastillo.com/blog/tag/Jes%C3%BAs+Vargas+Vald%C3%A9s monthly 0.5 https://generalmaximocastillo.com/blog/tag/Luz-Elena+Torres monthly 0.5 https://generalmaximocastillo.com/blog/tag/Emiliano+Zapata monthly 0.5 https://generalmaximocastillo.com/blog/tag/Luz+Corral+de+Villa monthly 0.5 https://generalmaximocastillo.com/blog/tag/Porfirio+Diaz monthly 0.5 https://generalmaximocastillo.com/blog/tag/Dr.+Ana-Isabel+Aliaga-Buchenau monthly 0.5 https://generalmaximocastillo.com/blog/tag/Pancho+Villa monthly 0.5 https://generalmaximocastillo.com/blog/tag/Rebecca+Castillo monthly 0.5 https://generalmaximocastillo.com/home daily 1.0 2022-05-14 https://generalmaximocastillo.com/about daily 0.75 2022-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601ef0747dc49320d38a7b73/1612649045076-Y7ZLXYQ03J4A412THIGE/Castillo-3-765x1024.jpg About https://generalmaximocastillo.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2021-02-06
