List of battles of the second French intervention in Mexico

It resulted in the establishment of the Second Mexican Empire in 1864, which was supported by many conservative Mexicans, under the Austrian Maximilian I of Mexico.

Although the empire established control of the center of the country, the republicans held out in the North and South.

With the end of the American Civil War, the United States lent its support to the republicans and put pressure on the French to withdraw in 1866.

The imperial forces fought on, but were defeated in a series of battles, with the republicans regaining control of the City of Mexico on 15 May 1867.
