In spite of the conservatives' military advantage, the liberals recovered Mexico City in January of 1861 and after a loss economy, in March Juarez was elected President for another four-year term.
In response to the French intervention Juarez refused to accept a government imposed by foreigners so he obtained some weapons to the Republican forces and with all this the French troops began to retreat out of Mexico in 1866.
