While the US was preoccupied fighting the Confederacy, Napoleon III of France moved into Mexico in violation of the Monroe Doctrine. A monarchy was set up, headed by Maximillian of Austria. After the Civil War, Mexico defeated them without help from the US. Benito Juarez became the first President of Mexico, and Maximillian was executed.

What is an imperial president?

The term "Imperial President" is a mildly derogatory term. Imperial usually refers to Britain, which is a Monarchy, albeit a Constitutional Monarchy. An "Imperial President" is one who governs like a Monarch, rather than as a commoner. Imperial Presidents often consider themselves as being "above the law" and as a result they sometimes commit breaches of the law. The prime example of this is Richard Nixon.

How did an imperial monarchy come to rule rome?

An imperial monarchy emerged in Rome following a period of political instability and civil wars during the late Republic. The assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE and subsequent power struggles led to the rise of his adopted heir, Octavian (later Augustus), who consolidated power and became the first emperor in 27 BCE. He implemented reforms that centralized authority and established a system of governance that combined elements of monarchy with traditional republican institutions, effectively transitioning Rome from a republic to an imperial state. This marked the beginning of the Roman Empire, which would dominate for centuries.
