Austria–Mexico relations refers to the diplomatic relations between the Republic of Austria and the United Mexican States. Both nations are members of the OECD and the United Nations.

History

In July 1842, the Austrian Empire and Mexico established diplomatic relations after signing a treaty of Friendship, Navigation and Commerce between the two nations.[1] In December 1861, Emperor Napoleon III of France invaded Mexico. After successfully taking over the country, Emperor Napoleon III, along with the Mexican aristocracy, offered the crown of Mexico to his Austrian cousin, Maximilian of Habsburg. In April 1864, Maximilian, along with his wife Carlota set sail for Mexico and upon arrival to the country in May 1864, Maximilian was declared Emperor of Mexico. This period was known as the Second Mexican Empire.[2]

The reign of Emperor Maximilian was engulfed in constant conflict between his French backed government and the government in exile of Benito Juárez. In 1866, France withdrew its army from Mexico and in June 1867, Emperor Maximilian was captured by Juárez forces in Querétaro City and executed along with two of his generals, thus ending the empire.[3] After the execution of Maximilian, diplomatic relations between Austria and Mexico were severed until 1901.[4]

In 1938, Mexico became the only country to protest against the anschluss of Austria at the League of Nations.[5] During World War II, Austria was part of the German Reich and in May 1942 Mexico declared war on Germany after the destruction of two Mexican oil tankers in the Gulf of Mexico by German U-boats.[6] After the war, normal relations were restored between the two nations.

Over the years, diplomatic relations between the two nations have strengthened. In 2005, President Heinz Fischer became the first Austrian head of state to pay a visit to Mexico.[7] In 2006, former President Vicente Fox reciprocated the visit by paying a state visit to Austria.[8] In 2011, the Colegio Austriaco Mexicano opened in Querétaro City.[9]

Over the years, there has been much discussion between the two nations over whether Austria should return to Mexico Moctezuma's headdress and various other pre-Hispanic artifacts that were removed from Mexico in 1519 were taken to Austria where they are on display at the Museum of Ethnology in Vienna.[10] In July 2014, it was declared that the headdress was too fragile to travel and therefore cannot be returned to Mexico.[11] In 2018, Austria acknowledged and thanked Mexico on the 80th anniversary of Mexico's protest against the anshluss.[12]
