You're seriously equating the two?

Sure, although I fail to see what seriousness has to do with any of this.

Are you going to tie her down in your cellar?

Be careful, she is too old and fat for that.

At 60 yo, the heart doesn't work too good.

Well they sorta did since they killed all the Mexicans in the fort they stormed

Claiming Puebla as a victory is like Texans claiming the Alamo was a victory....with the exception the French went on to take over Mexico while the Texans captured Santa Anna in the next major battle.

Well it is a bit complex but the Mexican elites told Napoleon III his troops would be welcomed in Mexico so he sent only a tiny force to march on Mexico City...like 7,000 or something.  The French were actually opposed by a Liberal militia who occupied the two forts at Puebla.  The French stormed the first fort and killed all the Mexicans but suffered heavy casualties so they decided to retreat back to Veracruz and ask for more men before they tried to take Mexico City again.  The Mexicans in the other fort saw the French leave and celebrated their victory.

The French sent 30,000 more and the French then took Mexico City without any major opposition and installed Maximillian as Mexican Emperor.
