Because the film shows many of Maximilians generals to be Mexican, many viewers attribute it to typical Hollywood historical distortions. It is, however, indeed accurate.

This was due in large part to the Catholic Churchs strong support of the French occupation of Mexico and its "encouraging" Mexican Catholics to fight against the revolutionary forces by joining Maximilians army, which they did in large numbers.
