Independence Day for Mexico is September 16; the day father Miguel Hidalgo started the revolt that eventually became the Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821) against Spain.
Cinco de Mayo happened on May 5th, 1862. It celebrates a battle between Mexican and French forces during the Second Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867), when a fairly prepared Mexican force utterly crushed a French army that hadn't been defeated for almost 50 years. This specific battle is what made Mexicans proud of their own ancestry ever since, and nowadays it is also considered a Mexican heritage day among the Mexican-American community in the United States.
