The Mexican government was in serious debt to the French during the 1830s. Following riots in the city of Mexico a French Baker beseeched the French government to help him get the sum of his destroyed shop back. The result was France demanding a total of one million and six hundred thousand pesos. The amount was insane and Mexico had no way without bankrupting itself to pay all this off.
The end result of this war would lead to years of instability for Mexico. So my question to you guys, how do you make the French back down and give up their demands?
