You see it all started in 1861 when the President of Mexico, Benito Juárez, put a 2 year hold on paying back foreign debts bc the country had gone BROKE from the 3 previous wars: Mexican-American War of 1846, the Mexican Civil War of 1858, and the 1860 Reform Wars.
In response, Britain, Spain & France sent their navy to muscle payment out of the Mexican government. Spain & Britain came to a payment plan. But France being ruled by a man who coined the phrase napoleon complex, could not be subdued. So the french occupied Mexico until the final battle in 1862!
The French army, 8,000 men strong were defeated by the army of 4,000 Mexicans.
The Mexican army was literally doubly outnumbered by the French & they still claimed VICTORY!
What lesson does this teach us?
Size matters! When we are talking about complexes (Napoleon)
Size does not matter! When we are talking about number of soldiers (French: 8,000 vs Mexican 4,000)
Heart always wins!!!
Stick by your GUNS :)
Bc the Mexicans did & now we party, eat like pigs, & drink Margaritas to Celebrate :))))
No matter how large, or small (Napoleon ;), when faced with adversity it's important that we stick to what we KNOW is right & fair :)
Now go CELEBRATE!!!
