The fall to dictatorship

1865-1876

After the civil war in America, Mexico helped with the reconstruction and created the need for more developed ways to defend the nation and take advantage of the natural resources which were not a lot of and create a more centralized and intercommunication system. The president Benito Juarez ordered the immediate duplication of telegraph buildings and towers and bigger railway stations that pass the Nevada mountains (in America known as the Rocky mountains). This caused it to fall heavier in debt and have more to pay to countries like the United Kingdom, Spain, and France. Plus they were funding the Paraguayan war on the side of Paraguay which was losing the war. In November 1867 Juarez stopped all payments for the debts and focused on other indictments that were going on. The three nations got threatened and Mexico offered an arrangement, for the U.K he will give Belize. For Spain, they will have the northern Islands in Cuba and France could gain the District of New Orleans. France refused and declared War due to Napoleon the Third expansionist ideas.

Franco Mexican War During the war, Mexico was in a strong position and declared the mobilization of troops throughout the country. The landings of the french were on the east of Cuba and the north of the Yucatan peninsula and set up a blockade along New Orleans and that failed because France was afraid that the U.S will get involved in the conflict and attack them. The did push to Puebla and got retreated on May 5th, and change strategy and got to Mexico city then the french founded a new empire with an Austrian archduke as its emperor Maximillian it would seem that the victory could be in French hands but in 1870 France diverted the troops for the Franco-Prussian war and In 1871 and that led to an outstanding crisis in men for the French military and like that they lost the Franco-Prussian war but kept fighting in Mexico at the end they wanted peace with that, all French troops retreated from the region and the royalist forces were defenseless. in the end, the republic won and Juarez opened relations with the newly founded German empire and had security alliances and good trade for iron and silver.

There entered Porfirio Diaz a general who fought in the Franco-Mexican war and famed leader took control of the country, its party made it so unlimited terms could be constitutional according to the "general public" mandated by Don Porfirio Diaz. Now the country could have a chance to success but at the cost of censorship, this the transitional period known as " El Porfiriato"
