FranceThe French wanted influence in Mexico,

and it would suit them if there was a new nation, pro-French, in between Mexico and the USA.

BritainThe British increasingly saw the USA as

a fast-growing economic rival, and were not displeased to see it divided. Also, some of the older Tories still thought the American Revolution was a bit of cheek, and looked forward to a bit of 'trouble in Paradise'.
