Commentary
Ferdinand Maximilian Joseph von Habsburg-Lothringen (1832-1867) est prince impérial et archiduc d’Autriche, frère de François-Joseph Ier d’Autriche. Suite à l’Expédition du Mexique, fort du soutien de Napoléon III et ayant l’assurance du soutien populaire, il accepta en 1864 de devenir empereur du Mexique sous le nom de Maximilien Ier. Son pouvoir se limite en fait aux zones contrôlées par les garnisons françaises. Suite au retrait de ces dernières en 1867, les troupes impériales qui défendent Mexico sont battues par les troupes des libéraux et républicains. Jugé et condamné à mort, il est exécuté sur ordre de Benito Juarez le 19 juin 1867.
Historical background
MEXICO - MAXIMILIAN I
(1864-1867)
Born in Vienna in 1832, Maximilien is the brother of Emperor François-Joseph, Archduke of Austria. Napoleon III, who wished to get closer to Austria, offered Maximilian the imperial crown of Mexico (July 10, 1863). The majority of Mexicans, attached to Juarez, refuse it and Maximilian can only maintain himself with the support of Napoleon III. Soon abandoned by Napoleon III, he fell into the hands of Juarez, was condemned to death and shot with his generals..
