French intervention in Mexico - 1862: Arrival of the French
The British and French fleets arrived at Veracruz between the 6 and 8 January 1862. The city of Campeche surrendered to the French fleet on 27 February, and a French army arrived led by General Lorencz on 5 March. When the Spanish and British realised the French had ambitions of colonising Mexico, they withdrew their forces on 9 April, their troops leaving on 24 April.
Although the French army, then considered one of the most efficient in the world, suffered an initial defeat in the Battle of Puebla on 5 May 1862 (now commemorated as the Cinco de Mayo holiday) they eventually defeated the Mexican government forces led by the general Ignacio Zaragoza. The pursuing Mexican army was contained however by the French at Orizaba on 14 June. More French troops arrived in Mexico on 21 September, and General Bazaine with more reinforcements arrived on 16 October. Tampico was occupied by the army of France on 23 October, with Xalapa taken with no fighting on 12 December.
