Hi all,
The Mexican expedition was a failure in the end but still, France managed to fight the war for several years in adverse conditions, with a lot of tropical diseases.
So what if it had been more successful? I heard one of the problems was that Maximilien was not good enough for the job, as well as a representative of the European monarchies.
What if they had chosen a more "local" candidate? Would that have made a change? What could have been done and what would have been the consequences?
