Mexicans wearing period costumes, fire a cannon during a re-enactment of the battle of Puebla, in the Penon de los Banos neighbourhood of Mexico City, Mexico, May 5, 2016. The battle marked the defeat of French forces by Mexican troops and local Indians in the central state of Puebla in 1862. During the re-enactment, participants fired homemade shotguns loaded with gunpowder and hundreds of men dressed as Indian peasants fought mock battles against others dressed as French invaders.
