Emperor Maximilian I and the forgotten history of Cinco de Mayo

In “Maximilian I and May the 5th,” The History Guy remembers the history of Cinco de Mayo and the War of French Intervention.

This episode was made for educational purposes and all events are presented in the context of history. It contains period paintings of war and the events described which some viewers may find disturbing.

The History Guy uses images that are in the Public Domain. As photographs of actual events are often not available, I will sometimes use photographs of similar events or objects for illustration.
