Why did France invade Mexico in 1862?
War and history, though not necessarily commendable, tend to go hand in hand. Countless military conflicts ranging from small-scale skirmishes to full-blown world wars have plagued the globe for centuries upon centuries. Because of this, we often forget or overlook quite a few interesting battles or wars that have occurred throughout these times. One of these unusual and curious conflicts was the unexpected and theatrical French invasion of Mexico.

It time to get the money back Mexican
This is one of the biggest piles of lies I have ever heard trying be be manufactured to disinform people about the real history!!!
Quick n easy
Awesome video
So the French manipulated the British and the Spaniards to invade Mexico then manipulated an austrian to become emperor just to run and leave the place when the going got difficult.
The French have always been evil bastards.
Cause France was everywhere
Did US really support Mexico ? Humm
The French, as well as other europeans, saw with distrust the US. The reason for the invasion was to put a stopgap on the influence of the US. As far as the debt, it was debt that was acquired by the conservative and royalist governments. The British were only too happy to lend money at predatory rates to the struggling conservative government. The Juarez government inherited the debts and had find a way to pay for the debts. France had little to no debt, but needed an excuse to invade so made up some phantom debts. Ironically, after the end of the three year civil war with conservatives over the new Mexican constitution, Juarez and his cabinet celebrated in Veracruz by playing the French La Marseillaise. As Mexican historian Paco Taibo II said, "little did they realize that a few months later the French army would be invading".
Map Is so inaccurate and the pronunciation is even worse
Your map makes it look like there was a different nation in the south. There wasn't. That is all the United States. There were rebels trying to take those states, but they were not a nation. Never recognized by anyone on the planet. Revisionists will try to claim the CSA was it's own nation, but they are wrong. They were no more a nation than today's sovereign citizens are a nation. Just because you call yourself a sovereign entity doesn't make it so. You need to be recognized by somebody other than yourself.
Fun fact
Mexico has a legitemely heir to the throne, despite the fact that there is no more throne or crown to receive, the Vatican and the Pope recognized an heir to be the next king/emperor of Mexico, and he is a descendant from both Emperors Agustín de Iturbide and Maximilan Habsburg. (Well from his family line since he didn't had kids)
But last time he was seen he was on Croatia and the family is living in Australia.
Que paso con Carlota?
Los Gringos, traicionaron a México. Después de dos enfrentamientos de guerra, México se veía cansado y hay aprovecharon, declarandole la guerra. Para quitarle sus tierras.
He said “poobla”. It’s Pwebla (Puebla)
The problem has always been the british… The alliance with France, Austria and Spain under a strong regime could have been very profitable for México. But not for england and USA.
Conservative = freedom God, no government
Liberal = government control, and the enslavement of the people, degradation of morals and rejection of the word of God.
You can thank liberals for the end of the world and for the state of the world as it is today we are watching the same battle play out and modern times “nothing under the sun has never been done before. “
Will this is bullshit story that’s not how it happen that’s only what the American books say but I bet the Mexican say different
Bbh
From what i read maximillian didnt die but was pardoned by benito juarez because he was a mason as himself, maximillian was taken to south america to live out his life and would sometimes be visited by mexicans, upon his death he had one last wish to be buried in his native country which was granted by the mexican government under the table of course.
I wonder if this set the stage for the rebellion in columbia which ;lead to the usa getting the panama canal job?
It looks like the real reason france invaded mexico was to invade the united states and fight alongside the confederate army against the union. Didnt Lincoln state "jeff davis would've never fired that first shot unless he had the support of france".
kind of hard to believe that one small boat can carry enough ammo to defeat 2 cities ans then fight more
Maximilian was the best. Juarez was the puppet of USA.
As someone who loves the state of Puebla, that hurt my soul to hear him call it Pooblah.
Mexico got to have a Mexican German president and most people don't realize that
I wonder if it wasn't just coincidence that the US Civil War was also going on.
Publa 😂
Question since some French soldiers decided to stay in mexico does this mean i a pueblano citizen have french in me? 🤔
France attacked Mexico so they can have a Beachhead. So they can come thru Texas with the British and help the Confederacy beat the North .
To get to the other side 🤷🏼♂️
Im just realizing mexico was getting attacked left and right by different countries, Mexican people are strong. We have a tough history.
They disliked the Spanish. Apart from their own agenda. They wanted to prolong the development of Mexico. All they did was reap the land and didn't even use its natural resource nor their agriculture lands for profit. They just didn't want it to succeed. So I I believe it was just to hinder its growth. I'm just saying, though! Facts.
You ask why well, it's because that's what the devil race did throughout history. They have the least amount of melanin. That means they have the least amount of human DNA proven by scientists. They have neanderthal DNA, so they are the most barbaric people throughout history collectively..
Woke. video. Juarez was conservative not liberal. Napoleon was liberal not conservative.
Spain took $4 Trillion dollars in gold since 1519. And killed over 60M natives. This is why we need to teach the truth schools. No one knows the truth. And also enslaved Mestizos. Only white Spaniards had power. The Europeans brought only death and suffering.
Nope. Europe invaded Mexico for a way to secretly resupply the US South in their Civil War. Cinco de Mayo put a wrinkle in that. The North caught wind of European intent and rushed to aid Mexico.
So if you're a Dixie fan and you celebrate Cinco de Mayo, you're a fool.
