Thursday night President Obama and Michelle Obama welcomed a festive crowd, heavy on Latino leaders, to mark Cinco de Mayo the 5th of May an important date in Mexican history. No, not Mexican Independence Day, which is in September. Nor is it a celebration of peace after the 1910 revolution or the day the Spanish arrived in what is now Mexico City.Actually, in Pan-American terms, it a pretty cool holiday. Those of you who are a little rusty on Mexican history might want to take notes at this point. During the early decades of its independence from Spain, Mexico borrowed heavily from European creditors. Through decades of struggling governments and devastating civil war, the borrowing continued. Then President Benito Juarez ordered a moratorium on debt repayments for two years. Not surprisingly, Britain, Spain and France were not happy about not getting their money and started muscling Mexico by sending warships to the Caribbean port of Veracruz.France took its response further than its stiffed continental partners and sought to collect its debts at the point of a bayonet by invading Mexico.
