never mind the Italians...

even the Mexicans did it..... -ggg (Napoleon III army -noless)

Here in this link, you will find an earlier reference as to why the Americans and French dislike each other...

However, the dislike between the French and English is even greater than between the Americans and French... After all, the French did help the Americans beat the Crown's army in the war for American independence.... -lol

Never mind about the French still occupying Mexico for a brief period after their defeat on 5 de Mayo, they still got their butt kicked... and American Soldiers helped...

Ever wonder why Cinco de Mayo is a bigger party in the US than it is in Mexico -gggg (it also helps when the breweries have promoted the celebration beyond any historian's dreams)
