The Battle of Atlixco was fought on 4 May 1862 between the French invasion force and their Mexican imperial allies on one side and the Mexican republican forces on the other.[1] The republicans were commanded by Tomas O'Horan, who later defected and was executed at the end of the war. The imperials were commanded by Leonardo Márquez, a veteran of the Mexican–American War and the War of Reform known as the "Tiger of Tacubaya". The two sides were evenly matched with 1,000 soldiers each. The republicans were victorious.
