Explanation:

The Reform was one of the conflicts between liberals and conservatives in Mexico in the 19th century. It took place from 1857 to 1861. The Liberals wanted a federal state and restriction on the traditional influence of the Catholic Church and the military. The Conservatives, in turn, wanted a central government in the form of a monarchy in which the Catholic Church and the military should retain their traditional roles.

Full civil war broke out when the Liberals, who at that time ruled the country after deposing Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, began to introduce a series of laws to limit the influence of the Catholic Church and the military, especially the Church. The Liberals won the war in December 1860, but guerrilla activity continued in the countryside for years to come, and the Conservatives then signed a cooperation agreement with French forces to deploy Maximilian as Emperor of Mexico. during the French intervention in Mexico.
