I just looked it up in Marrs' book. The British had troops in Canada too.

And the French leader was Napoleon III, the period known as the Second Mexican Empire.

The Habsburgs had a brief rule 1964-67. Emperor Maximilian was executed.

That's what I get for writing something from memory and not checking current sources.

Thanks!
