Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independance Day (see September 16th). It's the day that an outnumbered Mexican Army defeated the invading French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. They don't bother with it much in Mexico outside of Puebla because the French came back and won a second battle of Puebla and went on to capture Ciudad de Mexico (Mexico City) and installed Emperor Maximillian. Eventually the French fell, but it wasn't on Cinco de Mayo.
