second mexican empire

Preface Years ago, I started work on a novel, The Devil and Harvey Hill, that told the story of a Confederate victory from the eyes of four historical characters: Robert Smalls, Confederate General D.H. Hill, OTL spy and probable Lincoln conspirator Sara Slater, and an obscure carpenter and...

Good day, people of this website. I have a TL in the works rn, and amongst its butterflies is the American Civil War being avoided, though I am trying to figure out the Mexican Intervention that happened the same year the ACW started. What would happen once the Second French Intervention in...

Hi y'all. I have a timeline in the works right now. TL;DR, earlier end to the ACW, and the US declares war on France and the "Second Mexican Empire", citing the Monroe Doctrine. I believe the US would be able to win that conflict, which is what I have in the canon as of now. How would a...

Now a Second mexican empire has been a hot topic for many years on this forum, and i am really interested in it admittedly. Now, i have done *some* intensive research on the matter in the A levels on north american history, so managed to make a somewhat plausible scenario in which Maximilian I...

I've had this question in my head for a while, and I'd like to get it out so I can focus. Charles de Morny was Napoleon III's illegitimate half-brother. He repeatedly put himself forward as a candidate for a restored Mexican Empire, but (Wikipedia doesn't have a source for this) Napoleon...

Is it possible, in the aftermath of the U.S./Mexico war, to have the eldest son of the deposed post-independence Mexican monarch take power? He was a field commander in the war with the U.S. in OTL. What might the consequences of this be?

What would it have taken for Maximilian and the Empire to win against the Republicans?

In an alternate world, where the Confederate States of America won their independence from the USA, and the Second Mexican Empire triumphs over Benito Juarez, how would a war between these two nations play out? Given the expansionist nature of the south, this was bound to happen sooner or later...

Assuming the CSA survived the war as an independent entity, how would it develop? I assume its economy would be on the brink of collapse, so they'd have to do something fast before the whole endeavor fell apart. Would they emancipate the slaves? If so, when? Culturally and militarily, would they...

Would it be possible to defeat the Republicans before the Civil War ended ? Even then, could he remain in throne after the US turned their attention to Mexico ?

Assuming Maximilian decided not to become the Emperor of Mexico, who are some other possible choices? The Mexican nobility preferred a Habsburg, so maybe Maximilian's younger brother, Archduke Karl Ludwig? If the Second Mexican Empire somehow doesn't collapse then that would mean Archduke Franz...

As I understand it, the French intervention in Mexico was initially supported by Britain and Spain as well. It seems plausible that alternate circumstances could have led the British attempting a similar invasion, even if it was a rather unique occurrence due to the reign of Emperor Napoleon...

After several months of looking around, obsessively reading everyone's timelines, and trying to contribute to the best of my limited abilities, I have finally endeavored to try and write my own. I cannot promise frequent updates, insane in-depth research, or even a plausible scenario. All I...

This would be ether during the second Mexican empire or early 1900s

The basic idea is Benito Juárez is at some point captured and killed in 1864/1865 and the Mexican Republicans was put down. (Or Juarez joins Maximilian.) How will Maximilian rule? (I read he was too conservative for the liberals, but also too liberal for the conservatives.) Would his heir be one...
