Outrageous History!
Help wanted: For position of sovereign in mid-19th century, self-exploding Mexico
Show Notes

We require a young, idealistic European royal couple to lead transition of Mexico from republic to monarchy. Experience living in Mexico not necessary. Some financing for military support is available. Please note, there is a high chance of violence during the transition as well as a substantial risk of death by firing squad. Please apply to Napoléon III, Emperor of France. For more information, listen to journalist Ernest Granson as he chats with M.M. McAllen, author of "Maximilian and Carlota: Europe's Last Empire in Mexico."
