  Carlota of Mexico
Carlota of Mexico (also spelled Carlotta; sometimes rendered as Charlotte) (June 7, 1840 - January 19, 1927) was the wife of Maximilian of Mexico and was proclaimed Empress of Mexico in the 1860s, in a regime largely dependant on French troops in Mexico under orders of Napoleon III.
A daughter of Leopold I, King of the Belgians (1790-1865) and his second wife, Louise d'Orleans, Princess of France (1812-1850), Carlota of Mexico was born in Laeken, Belgium, as Princess Marie Charlotte Amélie Auguste Victoire Clémentine Léopoldine.
Carlota had no children with Maximilian, but in 1865, the imperial couple did adopt Agustin de Iturbide y Green, grandson of an earlier "Emperor of Mexico", Agustin I (Agustine de Iturbide y Aramburu), a constitutional monarch who reigned from 1822 until 1823.

 History of Mexico
The presidential terms of Benito Juarez (1858-71) were interrupted by the Habsburg monarchy's rule of Mexico (1864-67).
Conservatives tried to institute a monarchy when they helped to bring to Mexico an archduke from the Royal House of Austria, known as Maximilian of Habsburg (wife Carlota of Habsburg) with the military support of France, which was interested in exploiting the rich mines in the north-west of the country.
Although the French, then considered one of the most efficient armies of the world, suffered an initial defeat in the Battle of Puebla on (May 5, 1862 (now commemorated as the Cinco de Mayo holiday) they eventually defeated the Mexican government forces led by the general Ignacio Zaragoza and enthroned Maximilian as Emperor of Mexico.

 Best Article in Unterrichtspraxis for 1996
For instance, Habsburg biographies are particularly interesting in terms of historical evidence-gathering because much official (but personal) material is still in family hands, or has been released in segments, under circumstances heavily involved with political issues that do not appear in the text at all.
The syllabus for "The Habsburg Myth" was thus constructed to foster two different kinds of critical analysis: the discourses of history (how history is told) and historical analyses (how historical data is used in argumentation).
The Habsburg Dynasty celebrated 700 years of European rule in 1982, with its main creation, the Habsburg Empire, lasting from 1526 to 1918; at times, it also ruled over Spain (from 1558-1700), the Netherlands, and large portions of Italy.

 Juarez (1939) review by Groucho   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Luckily enough, the highfalutin story thread did not completely manage to undermine the original intention, and what’s left of Maximilian and Carlota’s story is precious, so much so that it’s worth finding the film and watching it.
The story begins at the moment Napoleon III (Claude Rains in a truly memorable performance) decides to establish a monarchy in Mexico in order to keep the territory controlled against the growing menace of the United States’ northern forces led by Abraham Lincoln during the civil war.
It’s not that bad for them, however, except for their personal drama: They can’t have any children, and the prompt adoption of a Mexican noble boy is a direct hit to Carlota’s pride.

 Mexico, Dish by Dish at Bon Appétit Features at Epicurious.com
I must admit that one of the reasons I love Mexico City is the abundance of restaurants that serve crepes, and as un-Mexican a dish as they may seem, they have been a part of the culinary scene here since the last decades of the 1800s.
It was natural in those days for the wealthy aristocracy living in Mexico to disdain the humble foods of the working classes and to prefer the refined European cuisine being showcased by Empress Carlota and her Hungarian chef, Tudos.
She and her husband, the well-meaning but inept Emperor Maximilian (a Habsburg archduke put in place by the French), were instrumental in introducing many new items to the Mexican table, such as Viennese pastries, sweet rolls, and crepes.

 Amazon.com: The crown of Mexico; Maximilian and his Empress Carlota: Books: Joan Haslip   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Anyone with any sense would have realized that Napoleon III was not to be trusted; that most Mexicans supported Juarez and those that didn't just wanted to get their lands back; and that the United States would not have allowed a monarchy in Mexico.
Haslip also shows that Carlota's madness did not happen all of a sudden but it was the result of years of disappointment and Carlota's own suspicious nature.
Haslip ends her narrative with Maximilian's funeral in 1867, thus leaving out almost six decades of Carlota's half-life in Belgium.

From the outset, the unwanted Emperor is doomed, since he does not have the support of the people, and he is fighting against a man universally respected by the Mexicans.
This 1939 film is an ambitious historical drama that, while based on history, takes creative license in dramatizing the story of Benito Juarez, the legendary Mexican freedom fighter who liberated the Mexican people from the French Empire and the puppet rule of the Habsburgs.
