The Third Mexican Empire was the name of Mexico under the regime established from 1919 to 1990. It was created after German troops, who were in Mexico to aid in the American Theatre of World War I, led the coup d'etat that overthrew the Mexican Republic. The coup d'etat put Agustín de Iturbide y Green on the Mexican Throne as Agustín II of Mexico. Promoted and installed by the Germans, with support from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the coup d'etat create a European-style monarchical system in Mexico, a dream that was envisioned by Napoleon III of France. The Mexican nobility, who aimed to promote stability and end the constant cycle of unrest and revolution, were in full support of the coup d'etat and did everything they could to ensure the rebels kept their word.
