Answer
Emperor Napoleon III of France ordered French armies to withdraw from Mexico, leading to the collapse of Maximilian's regime. The French armies had been sent to Mexico to support Maximilian's claim to the throne, but the French people had grown tired of the war and wanted their troops home. Napoleon III also decided that it was no longer in France's interests to keep troops in Mexico.
