Extra Information and clarifications.
In layman's terms, Britain, France and Spain weren't going to get payed the full amount owned to them.
But these are very much speculations and I don't think valid arguments can be made for either of them.
Some sources says that Maximilian's last words where these.
"May my blood seal up the misfortunes of my adopted country. Long live Mexico.".
Other sources add to that this "I die in a just cause, that of the independence and liberty of Mexico. May my blood seal up the misfortunes of my adopted country. Long live Mexico."
Yet another source mentions this "May my blood be the last to be spilled as a sacrifice for the country. And if it did require some of its sons, may it be for the good of the Nation and never to betray it."
Yet another account says this “what a glorious day! I have always wanted to die on just such a day".
While other accounts say these words where said by Maximilian before the execution and aren't his last words.
Lastly a romanticized version of his last words exist which most certainly where not his last words.
"Mexicans! Persons of my class and origin are appointed by god, either for the happiness of nations, or to be martyrs. Called by you, I came for the good of the country. I came not in my ambition, but I came animated by the best desires for the future of my adopted country; for that of the brave men to whom, before death, I express my gratitude for their sacrifice. Mexicans! May my blood be the last that is shed, and may it regenerate this unhappy country!"
