As a result, Miguel Hidalgo and the other Mexican Revolutionaries began their successful push for Mexican independence.Napoleon III, the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, actually launched an invasion of Mexico in 1863 to create the Second Mexican Empire. This regime was able to control most of Mexico, but overthrown four years later by the Mexican Liberals led by Benito Juárez and supported by the United States.
