History
Mexico and Austria established diplomatic relations on 30 July 1842 via the Treaty of Friendship, Navigation and Commerce.[6]
Relations between the two countries were strained when, in December of 1861, Napoleon III successfully invaded Mexico under the pretext of recovering unpaid debts. However, Napoleon really intended to extend France's influence in the region by establishing a French client state.[7] While the French were eventually repelled, its actions had damaged Mexican opinion of European nations and on 8 December 1867, President Benito Juárez severed ties with all European countries.[8] Relations with Austria remained severed until June of 1901, when they were reestablished by President Porfirio Díaz.
Relations were again severed in 1938 due to the Anschluss of Austria by Nazi Germany. Mexico was the only country to protest this action before the League of Nations.[9] After the war, relations were reestablished and have since flourished.
