The epilogue to the Second Mexican Empire occurs in Queretaro. Maximilian is taken prisoner, tried and shot by the republics justice system. Such occurrences not only mark the end of the tragic life of a prince, but also signal the failure of any possible foreign intervention in Mexico. With the empire of Maximilian defeated, Juárez entrance into the capital of the country on July 15, 1867 symbolized Mexico's commitment to the path of political and economic liberalism and a definitive independence: Mexico was reborn.
