Max was a bit of a fool to be sure, but one or two competent advisors, and Max would have lasted much longer. Or a situation that forced the US to accept French troops in Mexico for a few more years. Possibly Max getting the support of Britain or Germany. Lots of scenarios possible where Max doesn't have to be personally competent to hang on to power.
