>>202411749>criollo vicekahnagzWhat’s that?
>>202411576After he died his wife went insane and would go to European nobility for years afterwards begging them for support and money to help her husband :(
>>202411708only half of your post is true (not telling which part is false though)
>>202411576The best ruler mexichuds could've had. He didn't get support from liberals but from conservatives who he didn't share beliefs with so he didn't have much legitimacy. France withdrew leaving Maximilian on his own, US ended its civil war and send money to Benito to execute Maximilian.
>>202412348What did Mexican conservatives want that he wouldn’t do?
>>202411576He wasn't a real Emperor, he was a French puppet who got executed after his government collapsed following the French withdrawal
Perfect summary of Mexican politics: Dude was only installed to help the wealthy aristocrats win their civil war, tried to achieve this by encouraging the aristocrats to treat their serfs better as a compromise, and consequently became hated by both sides.

>>202413358> A major aspect of liberalism in Mexico was the curtailment of the power and privileges of the ideologically conservative Catholic Church, including the forced sale of Church-owned property and freedom of religion, removing Catholicism as the sole religion of the nation. The papal nuncio, Pier Francesco Meglia, arrived in Mexico in December 1864, and informed Maximilian that the liberal laws were to be reversed, Church property was to be returned and religious toleration rescinded and Catholicism as the sole religion reinstated. Maximilian refused, decreeing freedom of worship and confirmed the sale of Church property, as well as other liberal reforms. >The pope's representative wrote to Maximilian, saying that the Church had supported the establishment of the empire, but now threatened that it would no longer do so if the regime were "ungodly."[98] Maximilian's alienation of the high clergy was in line with his liberal views, but it removed a major pillar of conservative support for the empire.[citation needed]
>>202414254> Maximilian had other priorities as well, including reorganizing his ministries and reforming the Imperial Mexican Army. Having the Imperial Mexican Army under his control would have given him as monarch an armed force and draw on its traditional base of support, but Bazaine impeded that in order to consolidate French control.[99]During his short reign, Maximilian issued eight volumes of laws covering all aspects of government, including forest management, railroads, roads, canals, postal services, telegraphs, mining, and immigration, most of which were never implemented.[100][101] The emperor issued laws that guaranteeing Mexicans' equality before the law and freedom of speech, and laws meant to defend the rights of laborers, especially that of the Natives. Maximilian attempted to implement a law guaranteeing the natives a living wage and outlawing corporal punishment for them, along with limiting their inheritance of debts. The measures faced backlash from the cabinet, but were ultimately issued during one of Carlota's regencies.[102] Labor laws in Yucatán actually became harsher on workers after the fall of the Empire.[103] A national system of free schools was also planned based on the German gymnasia, and the emperor founded an academy of sciences and literature.[104][105] Laws were published in Spanish and in Nahuatl, the Aztec language, which had the largest number of indigenous speakers. Maximilian appointed the Indigenous scholar Faustino Galicia as an advisor to his government.[106] Galicia would also be named president of the Council for the Protection of the Impoverished.[107]What other people are saying basically, his base of support was conservative elements of Mexican society who had recently lost a civil war to the Liberals, but Maximilian himself being ideologically liberal fucked him.
