Ferdinand Maximilian Joseph von Habsburg (6 July 1832 – 19 June 1867), later Maximilian I of Mexico, was Emperor of the Mexican Empire from 10 April 1864 to 19 June 1867, both succeeding and preceding Benito Juarez. Maximiliano was an archduke of Austria and the commander-in-chief of the Austrian Navy, but in 1859 he agreed to sacrifice his claims to European titles in order to accept an invitation to become the new Emperor of Mexico. In a six-year war, Maximiliano's royalists and the French Army were forced out of Mexico by Benito Juarez's liberal rebels, and he was executed by firing squad.
