So, what would the effects be if Napoleon III's French Empire had withdrawn from Veracruz with it's allies after getting its debts honored?
Conservatives in Mexico get no revival of power. Diaz doesn't rise up as prominently and possibly doesn't become dictator later. Juarez's Liberal program for Mexico means a weaker church and more assimilation for Indians.
And no mariachi music. It originally came from the French.
Also Latin America has another name. It was a phrase Napoleon III first used in his calls for Mexicans to accept his rule.

No Austro-Prussian War ?

could you explain why? was Maximilian the key in keeping peace within the German Confederation or something?
Because France had its best regiments in Mexico, it was a good bet they would not dare to come to Austria's aid when war broke out with Prussia
Bismarck may well not be able to make that bet, and things will move in unknown ways for the rest of the 1860s

Britain and Spain Pulled out under international pressure, after the Mexicans agreed to pay, France remained to be the Big Stick And make sure the agreement was kept.In April 1864 Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian stepped down as Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian Navy. He traveled from Trieste aboard the SMS Novara, escorted by the frigates SMS Bellona (Austrian) and Themis (French), and the Imperial yacht Phantasie led the warship procession from his palace at Miramare out to sea.[4]
The new emperor of Mexico landed at Veracruz on 28 May 1864
