In 1862, during the Battle of Puebla, Mexico owed France approximately 300 million pesos. This debt was primarily a result of loans taken out during the Mexican-American War and subsequent conflicts. The financial strain led to France, under Emperor Napoleon III, intervening militarily in Mexico, ostensibly to collect the debt. However, this intervention eventually escalated into a broader conflict over control in Mexico.
