MEXICO AND FRANCE: FROM THE FALL OF THE SECOND EMPIRE TO THE REESTABLISHMENT OF DIPLOMATIC AND ECONOMIC RELATIONS (1867-1886)

Abstract

This work describes the history of Franco-Mexican relations from the fall of the Second Mexican Empire and the rupture of official and economic ties with France until the moment of Franco-Mexican reconciliation and the signing of a Treaty of Friendship, Commerce, and Navigation in 1886. The study highlights this process's impact on Mexico's economic history within the framework of the rise and weakening of European influence in the Mexican economy, which turned France and England into secondary actors in the Mexican economy.
