Ignacio, we have defeated the French.

Are you sure?

General Porfirio Diaz

is chasing them out.

Then,

today our National Army has

covered itself in glory.

Juan! Juan!

Juan! Juan! Juan!

Thank God you are alive!

- Have we won?

- Yes, we won.

Get up.

Wait! Wait!

I'll go look for someone

Five months later,

General Ignacio Zaragoza

died unexpectedly of typhoid fever

in the city of Puebla.

He was 33 years old.

His mortal remains are in the same

grave alongside those

of his wife Rafaela.

Along with other generals,

Porfirio Diaz

continued fighting

against the French,

and his military victories

were the key to expel them

from Mexico in 1867.

The Count of Lorencz

was dismissed by Napoleon Ill

after his humiliating defeat

in the battle of Puebla.

Mexico's victory was highly

celebrated in the United States,

because it thwarted

Napoleon lll's projects

to support the Confederate

Secessionist Army of the South.

President Abraham Lincoln

congratulated

and thanked

Benito Juarez

by offering his support

to expel the French invaders.
