Question SA-1. Here is the text reference (p. 159/4):

Latin fears over U.S. expansion were calmed somewhat during the U.S. Civil War and Reconstruction, when internal problems distracted the United States and kept it from taking a more active role in Hemispheric affairs. This was the period when French Emperor Napoleon III, acting in concert with Mexican conservatives, seized upon the excuse of unpaid debts to install the Hapsburgh Maximilian and his Empress Carlotta on the "throne" of Mexico. The brief interlude of Mexico under a foreign emperor was accompanied by bitter fighting between liberals and conservatives until the French withdrew their troops and Maximilian was executed. The U.S., in the middle of its Civil War, did not act.
