When Napoleon III invaded Mexico in 1862, he aimed to establish a French empire in Latin America by supporting the installation of Archduke Maximilian of Austria as emperor. However, the invasion faced significant resistance from Mexican forces led by President Benito Juárez. The French initially succeeded, capturing Mexico City, but the situation deteriorated as local opposition grew and U.S. pressure mounted. Ultimately, the French withdrew in 1867, leading to Maximilian's execution and the restoration of the Mexican Republic.
