An expeditionary force of six thousand Spaniards, with the intention of levying customs duties on Mexico, lands in Veracruz between December 8 and 17.

Mexico’s creditors—Spain, France and Britain—see this as the most effective way of forcing the Mexican nation to repay the interest on the huge debt incurred over the years of pre-Juárez misrule.
