TRUE HISTORY
Cinco de Mayo, Folks!
Mexico made a thick, cold, and creamy paste of the French and that’s no yolk.
In 1862, The Mexican Army miraculously whipped the French Army at the Battle of Puebla.
It alllllll started with high-interest loans. Those damnable loans. Mexican President Benito Juárez was sick of the predatory APR on French, British, and Spanish lines of credit. The collective group was called Tripartite, which was a Brangelina or Kimye style nomenclature. Juárez was the first indigenous Zapotec president of Mexico and as such, did not take kindly to colonizing forces. Of course, this made the mob bosses in Europe mad.
The Zapotec were mostly concentrated in Oaxaca. Zapotec is a language family and culture, not a Pokémon.
What does a large military power to do when the country they are occupying doesn’t want to be exploited anymore? Invade and try to take all their stuff, of course! Those of you with gambling addictions and/ or crippling debt will recognize the Tripartite’s next actions: grabbing whatever they could in order to get their money. Repo back then involved warships instead of large workers who seem to really enjoy exposing their butt cracks.
