Due to the Reform Wars (1857-1861), the Mexican government faced such economic difficulties that Mexican president Benito Juarez suspended interest payments to foreign countries on July 17th, 1861. This angered France, Spain and England, who united their efforts to put pressure on, and receive payments from Mexico.
