Mutiny and decree

When the province of Guadalajara pronounced its independence through its provisional Board in a manifesto in which it opposed the Congress, the municipalities of that territory were exalted to establish a federal republic. As a result of this, on May 12 a tremendous disorder was carried out that attested to the disagreement that still existed among the population, since while some shouted through the streets the return of Iturbide others supported the republic . Such a movement caused the political chief to send some troops to the mutineers, causing bloodshed. Following these events, the Provincial Council decreed:

Rebellion

To all the pronouncements, the Executive Power and the Congress called for the formation of a new Congress that with wider powers constituted the nation under the system of indirect election, assigning a deputy to every 50 000 inhabitants or to the fractions that passed 40 000. With this measure most of the provinces returned to calm, however, Guadalajara was preparing to resist, being necessary the use of military force to reduce the uprising. An expedition commanded by General Nicolás Bravo was arranged and as second to Pedro Celestino Negrete .

Consequences

The expedition was a success, taking General Negrete Colima and getting the entire district back to order, becoming from that moment as the territory of the nation . Bravo, meanwhile, arranged things satisfactorily and returned to Guanajuato in case the circumstances required him to take another point in the country.

The second French intervention in Mexico, also known as the Second Franco-Mexican War (1861–1867), was a military invasion of the Republic of Mexico by the French Empire of Napoleon III, purportedly to force the collection of Mexican debts in conjunction with Great Britain and Spain. Mexican conservatives supported the invasion, since they had been defeated by the liberal government of Benito Juárez in a three-year civil war. Defeated on the battlefield, conservatives sought the aid of France to effect regime change and establish a monarchy in Mexico, a plan that meshed with Napoleon III's plans to re-establish the presence of the French Empire in the Americas. Although the French invasion displaced Juárez's Republican government from the Mexican capital and the monarchy of Archduke Maximilian was established, the Second Mexican Empire collapsed within a few years. Material aid from the United States, whose four-year civil war ended in 1865, invigorated the Republican fight against the regime of Maximilian, and the 1866 decision of Napoleon III to withdraw military support for Maximilian's regime accelerated the monarchy's collapse. Maximilian and two Mexican generals were executed by firing squad on 19 June 1867, ending this period of Mexican history.
