Benito Juárez, President (Second Federal Republic of Mexico) : All Data

Benito Juárez was the President of Mexico from 1861 to 1872. During his tenure, Mexico faced several significant wars and revolts. One of the most important conflicts was the French Intervention in Mexico, which occurred from 1861 to 1867.
