Is this the one where the Mexicans celebrate that one battle they won out of every other battle which they lost in a particular war, whose name escapes me?

It's when Napoleon III decided he wanted a North American empire and tried to invade Mexico under the pretext of it not paying back its debt by installing an Emperor, but he PHAILED

Napoleon III? The imbecile that has the distinction of being one of the few sovereigns captured in battle? The moron who led the French Empire to utter ruin? I mean, he was up against von Moltke, but come on: that's just embarrassing. It's shit like that that make France's military such a joke.

It actually could be. When I came down with it, a week and a half ago, there were no definitive swine flu tests available at my clinic. I suppose I could go find out, now, but I'm almost over it, so I'm good.

Napoleon III was a disgrace. I support Cinco de mayo for this reason.

And I get to go out and drink Tequila. Commencing in 2.5 hours.

No, but my tolerance for Tequila is low. But Cinco de Mayo is the exception to the rule.

Or Deutsche-Heavy dependent on which period we're talking :P
I thought Austria fought them in battle during some stage of the Napoleonic Wars? Even then, the numerous squabbles from the 16th-18th Centuries in Europe saw a lot of countries fight (and predictably defeat) the French at some stage. That includes like the 6 Nations Tribes (Iroquois like the Mohawk) too.

Well, during that same period, France also ran roughshod over almost the entirety of Europe, so that really isn't very valid if we're talking French surrenders.

However, the Napoleonic Wars were such a clusterfuck, it's hard to keep track of whom fought who, much less whom beats who. :-P
