After a two year war Spain was forced to retreat and recongized the Newly profound "Empire", the Mexican nation wanted to have a commonwealth with the Spanish, however King Ferdinand VII declared he would not allow any European Prince on the throne of Mexico. This lead to a now a later question. "Who shall be the Emperor". The Liberal party wanted a democratic Mexico similiar to the now fourty-five year old United States of America and based on the ideas of every man is equal.

Based on these ideas, the Empire was split in two until a French Prince from Berry came to solve the problem.
