September 13th we honor the Niños Heroes de Chapultepec (Children heroes) who were killed by US forces when the US invaded México.
We never aquired independence from France nor were we under Maximilians rule. Independence day is celebrated September 16th and it was independence from Spain.

Happy cincoh de mayoh. Great pictures Ken.
