Answer:

The correct answer is B. Mexico.

Step-by-step explanation:

Emperor Napoleon III tried to create a French state in 1862 in Mexico. Moreover, he designed Maximilian of Habsburg Mexico's emperor. Maximilian of Habsburg was Austria's Archduke. Mexican resistance provoked French withdrawal through orders given by Napoleon III. It is said that this decision was motivated by the United States, a country that was recovering from its Civil War.

During the Civil War, William Henry Seward, who was Secretary of State in the United States, created a policy with the idea of keeping good relationships with France. Finally, when the American Civil War ended in 1865, Benito Juárez's forces defeated Maximilian's forces and in this way, Napoleon had to retire from Mexico.
