War and history, though not necessarily commendable, tend to go hand in hand. Countless military conflicts ranging from small-scale skirmishes to full-blown world wars have plagued the globe for centuries upon centuries. Because of this, we often forget or overlook quite a few interesting battles or wars that have occurred throughout these times. One of these unusual and curious conflicts was the unexpected and theatrical French invasion of Mexico.
