Benito Juárez was Mexico's first Indian president. Soon after coming to power, he confronted power-hungry generals within his own country, and the invading influence of Napoleon III, who hoped to make Mexico part of his global empire. Juárez alone stood up to the French Empire and reclaimed Mexico for its people.
