It became a monarchy, led by Maximilian I of Mexico (1832-1867). The regime however, was widely considered a puppet of the French Empire. When republican forces led by Benito Juarez (1806-1872) gained the upper hand during the conflict, they eventually captured and executed Maximilian, thus ending the Second Mexican Empire (1864-1867) and the Second Franco-Mexican War (1862-1867).
The Austrian Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian was installed in Mexico as a puppet emperor by Napoleon III in 1863. He was dependent on the support of the occupying French army and when Napoleon withdrew his troops Maximilian was captured by Mexican forces loyal to their legitimate republican government. Maximilian, in desperation, assumed personal command of his forces, then mostly concentrated at Querétaro. There, after a siege, he was captured and shot.

Originally, Mexico was a colony of Spain, but fought and won its independence in 1821. Between 1864 and 1867, Mexico was invaded by French forces, who at the time installed "Emperor Maximilian I", making of Mexico a French protectorate. Later, liberal forces led by Benito Juarez overthrew Maximilian and Mexico became independent once more. Since then, Mexico hasn't been "colonized" by another country.
