Was there a king of Mexico?

Answer 1

No. Mexico is a "federal presidential representative democratic republic" whose government is based on a congressional system, whereby thepresident of Mexico is both head of state and head of government, and of a multi-party electoral system.

Answer 2

Yes. Actually Mexico has two royal houses existing to this day. One is the Iturbide-Green Family, descendents from the first Mexican Empire.The secong family is the Habsburgf, of the Lorrain Branch, related to Marie Antoinette and Queen Victoria, whic ruled through the Second Mexican Empire. Although they no longer reign, they maintain the title as heirs to the throne. Curiously, Maximilian of Habsburg, adopted the heir of the Iturbide empire, merging both royal houses into one.

Answer 3

Yes, two of them, but for a very short time:

One of them was Emperor Agustin I (1821 to 1823), who after the independence of Mexico from Spain was crowned "Emperor of the Mexican Empire". However, in December 1822, Generals Antonio López de Santa Anna and Guadalupe Victoria wrote and signed the Plan of Casa Mata. This was an agreement between the two generals, amongst other Mexican generals, governors, and high-ranking governmental officials, to abolish the monarchy and replace it with a republic. Agustin I was later exiled and upon trying to return to Mexico, he was captured and executed by firing squad on July 19, 1824.

The other was Emperor Maximiliano (1864 to 1867), who was proclaimed Emperor of Mexico, with the backing of Napoleon III of France and a group of Mexican monarchists on 10 April 1864 during the French military intervention in Mexico. Because Emperor Maximiliano was viewed as a French puppet by some, he was not regarded as the legitimate leader of Mexico by many, including the US government. Later, Mexican Republican forces captured him and he was executed by firing squad on June 19, 1867.

Answer 4

Yes, on two occasions:

Just after attaining its independence, one of Mexico's generals, Agustin de Iturbide, immediately proclaimed himself emperor of the First Mexican Empire as Agustin I (May 19, 1822). A revolt against him in 1823 established the United Mexican States and Mexico became a republic.

After the French intervention in Mexico, under pressure from Napoleon III and after General Élie-Frédéric Forey's capture of Mexico City, Maximilian of Habsburg accepted the crown of the Second Mexican Empire in 1863, as Maximilian I. In 1867 he was captured by Republican forces and executed at the orders of Benito Juarez.

Since then Mexico has continued to be a federal representative republic.
