[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1249483, member: 14585"] A lot of revisionist history here... there was NO SURRENDER, the French retreated and France went on to win the war. May 5, 1862 the battle of Puebla was only a battle that Mexico won vs France. May 17, 1863 France won the 2nd battle of Puebla. 1864 USA invoked the Monroe doctrine to pressure France to withdraw from Mexico. In 1866 in the interest of Franco-American relations France agreed. Not because they lost to Mexico, but to avoid war with the USA. The only war Mexico won was Mexico vs Mexico; the Mexican republicans vs the 2nd Mexican Empire; after France announced their withdrawal. [/QUOTE]
