America Becomes a World Power

Both France and Spain had hoped to build empires in the New World. But Napoleon sold the French possessions to the United States, and the Spanish colonies in South America revolted and won their freedom. Any major European power was a threat to the then young and weak United States. In 1823, President Monroe stated a policy, to become known as the Monroe Doctrine,* warning that we would not permit new colonization in the Americas.

* A statement of U.S. foreign policy.

In 1863, Napoleon III, emperor of France, sent a French army into Mexico.

The United States was fighting the Civil War. Secretary of State Seward conferred with President Lincoln.

This clearly violates the Monroe Doctrine. He counts on it that we are too involved with the South to fight France.

Napoleon persuaded an Austrian archduke, Maximilian, to become emperor of Mexico. With his wife, Carlota, he went there.

I have been assured that the Mexican people wish me to rule them.

You will be a fineemperor!

In Mexico, Maximilian and Carlota were crowned.

After helping the Confederacy in every way he could diplomatically, Napoleon has now taken over Mexico!

Which is true. Issue a proclamation. Try to get word to the Mexican patriots that we have not forgotten them. After we have preserved the Union, we will take action.
