This question is prompted by another question posted on GaG:

Are you surprised there are people who believe the Mexican holiday Cinco De Mayo is an American holiday dedicated to mayonnaise?

As I said in that other post,

" No, I do not find it surprising that there are people that think the Mexican holiday Cinco De Mayo is an American holiday dedicated to mayonnaise.

There is one that they all have in common, they are usually College/University "Educated" who are intentionally ignorant and have never looked up Cinco De Mayo and found it is an annual celebration held on May 5 to celebrate Mexico's victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.

Only #4 contains mayo,

the others are mayonnaise.

The logic answer to your question is: no.

( I do understand the U. S. specific limitations in taste, language skills and eye sight, though :) )

5th of May, 1862. It is a celebration regarding a battle where Mexican forces defeated the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla. Granted Mexican Forces lost the Second Battle of Puebla. Further, had the United States not started sending money and guns following the end of our Civil War, we would hear a lot more French spoken down south of the U. S. border. Interesting considering Maximillian II was Austrian instilled by France’s, Napoleon III merely to destabilize the Empire of Austria with Hungry. It worked.
