Home Study Abroad Uruguay The name "Uruguay" comes from Guaraní, the original language of the native people of the region. It has many possible meanings since Guaraní is a highly agglutinative language. Two of them are "river of the urus" (uru is a kind of bird) and "river of colorful or 'painted' birds." The Uruguayan territory was part of the Spanish Virreinato del Río de la Plata (Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata). The first name given to this land was Banda Oriental ('Eastern Shore') and then Uruguayans were known as "Orientales." This name is not really related to the Uruguay River (as many people may think) but to the Río de la Plata, because from Buenos Aires, the Uruguayan shore is seen as it were at the East of the Río de la Plata (and not at the North as it really is.) The administration of the Banda Oriental was divided in two: Montevideo controlled the areas near the city and Buenos Aires had control over the rest of the territory. Later on, the Banda Oriental, including part of the southern region of the Misiones Jesuíticas (Jesuit Reductions), became the Provincia Oriental. In 1816 Portugal invaded the Provincia Oriental and finally annexed it in 1820 under the name of "Provincia Cisplatina" as a new province for Brazil. Being free now, the province decided to be reunited with the other provinces of the Virreinato that had formed the Provincia's Unidas del Río de la Plata (later known as Argentina.) It was finally accepted by the Provincia's Unidas, but this started a war with Brazil. After the war was over, the Provincia Oriental became an independent country (Treaty of Montevideo in 1828) under the name of "Estado Oriental" which was changed later to República Oriental del Uruguay. The British diplomacy pretty much "invented" Uruguay as an independent country, for 2 reasons:, number 1, to solve the conflict between the Provincia's Unidas (Argentina) and the Empire Of Brazil, and, number 2, to create a smaller country easy to control for the British and gifted with the best port in the whole region: Montevideo.

The Rugby World Cup is currently being played in Great Britain, France and Ireland, and New Zealand is once again among the favorites. Casual observers wonder how a tiny country can consistently steamroller the rest of the world. After all, New Zealanders by and large aren't necessarily bigger, stronger, faster or more intelligent than everybody else. So how do the All-Blacks manage to remain the world's most feared rugby power? The answer is rather complex, but strangely enough (and, for those who are suffering soccer abstinence, we're getting there), there is an uncanny parallel between New Zealand's hegemony over rugby and the great Uruguay teams of the 1920s and 1930s. Back then, Uruguay dominated soccer in much the same way that New Zealand rules rugby.

Activities History Culture Environment Getting Around Uruguay History Uruguay's fragile independence was repeatedly threatened during the 19th century - militarily by Argentina and Brazil, and economically by Britain. Federalist forces in collusion with Argentina besieged Montevideo from 1838-51 and helped create two warring political parties, the Blancos and the Colorados. Around the same time, the British introduced new wool, meat and rail industries. They also replaced the rangy criollo stock with their own cattle, thus commercializing one of the country's few abundant resources. For the remainder of the century, the contest between the Blancos and Colorados continued, immersing the country in civil war, dictatorship and political intrigue. The country's former prosperity had ebbed away by the 1960s as state-supported enterprises became riddled with corruption. The country slid into dictatorship and was thrown into turmoil by the Tupamaros, an urban guerrilla movement which appeared publicly in 1967. In 1971, the military was invited to participate in government, Congress was dissolved, and the Tupamaros were effectively wiped out. back to top previous next click for larger map

Uruguay HISTORY The only inhabitants of Uruguay before European colonization of the area were the Charrua Indians, a small tribe driven south by the Guarani Indians of Paraguay. The Spanish discovered the territory of present-day Uruguay in 1516, but the Indians' fierce resistance to conquest, combined with the absence of gold and silver, limited settlement in the region during the 16th and 17th centuries. The Spanish introduced cattle, which became a source of wealth in the region. Spanish colonization increased as Spain sought to limit Portugal's expansion of Brazil's frontiers. Montevideo was founded by the Spanish in the early 18th century as a military stronghold; its natural harbor soon developed into a commercial center competing with Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires. Uruguay's early-19th century history was shaped by ongoing fights between the British, Spanish, Portuguese, and colonial forces for dominance in the Argentina-Brazil-Uruguay region. In 1811, Jose Gervasio Artigaswho became Uruguay's national herolaunched a revolt against Spain which resulted in the formation of a regional federation with Argentina. In 1821, Uruguay was annexed to Brazil by Portugal, but Uruguayan patriots declared independence from Brazil in 1825. With the support of Argentine troops and after three years of fighting, they defeated Brazilian forces. The 1828 Treaty of Montevideo brought Uruguay independence, and the nation's first constitution was adopted in 1830. The remainder of the 19th century under a series of elected and appointed presidents saw interventions by, and conflicts with, neighboring states, political and economic fluctuations, and large inflows of immigrants, mostly from Europe.
