It was due to the Civil that began in 1857 which led to bankruptcy leaving the government no choice but to proclaim a halt to payments of foreign debts. This prompted to a joint action by Britain, France and Spain to take control of a customs house located in Vera Cruz in 1861. Though the British and Spanish left, the French continued their occupation.
