May 5, 1862 - the Battle of Puebla. The clash during the French-Mexican war, pitting 2,000 Mexican troops against 6,000 of Napoleon III's french troops, commenced on May 5 and lasted from daybreak through the evening. After realizing that nearly 500 French soldiers died while less than 100 Mexican troops had been lost, the French withdrew their army and retreated. It was the beginning of a series of battles that would eventually lead to the full evacuation of the French from Mexico six years later.
