Extractions: Uruguay History Chapter 1. Historical Setting The territory now occupied by the Republic of Uruguay was discovered in 1516 by Juan Diaz de Solis, leader of a Spanish expedition which, looking for a route to the Indies via the New Continent, sailed up the Rio de la Plata. Noticing the presence of nat ives in the shore, he landed at the head of his men and was immediately killed. Then, and throughout the whole period of the conquest, the natives put up such a brave resistance that even today the Uruguayans are proud to call themselves "charruas" in me mory of the indomitable spirit and the total refusal to surrender to the foreign invaders manifested by the tribe which inhabited the southern part of the country. The territory took a long time to conquer, not only because of the strong resistance of the natives, but also by reason of a lack of interest on the part of the Europeans who did not discover there the precious metals they had found in Peru. In 1617 Hernando Arias de Saavedra (Hernandarias), Governor of the Rio de la Plata, realized that the region´s real assets lay in its extensive prairies and its inexhaustible reserves of water, together with its relative flatness and splendid climate, all offering gr eat possibilities for livestock farming. It was the Governor himself who introduced the first bovines; they bred remarkably rapidly, soon spreading all over the country and establishing the bases for its future economy. Later, England and Portugal came to envy Spain this prosperous colony.

The new government adopted the South American trend in economic policy by selling off some state-owned businesses, reducing government spending and attracting foreign investment. It has also joined the Mercosur trading bloc with its neighbours. The Uruguayan left has experienced something of a resurgence since the mid-1990s. A leading light was the massively popular Tabare Vazquez, Mayor of Montevideo until 1994, whose combination of radical politics and pragmatic problem solving has greatly improved the quality of life in the capital. Tabare Vazquez is associated with the leftist coalition, Frente Amplio (Broad Front), which, in conjunction with dissident

Uruguay Time and Date Uruguay History Back to Top The Charrúa, a warlike and seminomadic indigenous people, originally occupied the land on the eastern side of the Uruguay and La Plata rivers. Spanish explorer Juan Díaz de Solís was the first European to arrive in the territory now included in Uruguay. In 1516 his landing party sailed into Río de la Plata. That same year, the Charrúa killed Soliss party on the riverbanks. Subsequent attempts to colonize the territory during the 16th century were discouraged by the Charrúa. The first permanent settlement was made in 1624 by the Spanish on the Río Negro at Soriano. Before the arrival of Europeans, the territory which is now Uruguay supported a small population estimated at no more than 5,000 to 10,000. The principal groups were the Charrúa and Chaná Indians. These seminomadic tribes did not develop the tools necessary to farm Uruguay's grasslands. They moved to the shore in summer to fish and gather clams, fruits, and roots, and inland in the winter to hunt deer, rheas, and smaller game with bolas and bows and arrows. Bands of eight to 12 families under a chief lived in villages of five to six houses made of matted windscreens. The fierce Charrúa attacked enemies to expand hunting grounds and capture women and children. Between 1680 and 1683, contesting Spanish ownership of the region, Portuguese colonists in Brazil established several settlements, such as the Novo Colonia del Sacramento, along the Río de la Plata opposite Buenos Aires. However, the Spanish made no attempt to dislodge the Portuguese until 1723, when the latter began fortifying the heights around the Bay of Montevideo. A Spanish expedition from Buenos Aires forced the Portuguese to abandon the site, and there the Spanish founded the city of Montevideo in 1726. Spanish-Portuguese rivalry continued in the 18th century, ending in 1777 with the establishment of Spanish rule in the territory under the jurisdiction of the viceroyalty of La Plata.

Uruguay is a country with chilly winters. Even during the summer the water is usually under 17ºC. In 1985, Pancho Gomez and Diego Rigabert decided that it was time to go surfing without freezing. They started renting a house in Montevideo which was simultaneously the factory and Diego's home. The first wetsuits were born there. It wasn't easy. They were hand cutted and then sewn with an "Elgin" home sewing machine and an overlock machine that it wasn't even for sewing neoprene. But the quality of the materials used (all Japanese made) and the effort to produce a quality wetsuit became what FLESH is today. Later in 1987, they decided to move to Punta del Este, the major summer resort in Uruguay and considered as the most exclusive of South America. They rented a new factory building with much more working space than before. This was the first step to an industrial production of wetsuits. At the same time, they also opened the store at Punta del Este, which is now a classic for surfers. The FLESH brand was beginning to be recognized by South American surfers and considered as excellent quality and design.

Extractions: INTRODUCTION URUGUAY USED TO BE KNOWN as the "Switzerland of South America," but clearly not because of any geographical similarity. Although it is the second smallest country in South America (after Suriname), Uruguay is more than four times larger than landlocked Switzerland, and its highest peak is only 501 meters. Rather, the analogy was made because Uruguay enjoyed other Swiss-like attributes. It was a peaceful, conservative country with a bountiful, livestock-based economy. It was also home to South America's first social democracy; a cradle-to-grave welfare system; and a largely urban, homogeneous, and relatively well- educated population. A political slogan of the 1940s proudly boasted, "There's no place like Uruguay." Beginning with the prolonged stagnation of their country's industrial and livestock sectors in the mid-1950s, however, Uruguayans began losing their economic well-being, civility, and tranquillity. By the late 1960s, Uruguay was suffering from high inflation and public deficits and was governed by an authoritarian president, instead of by the former revolving collegial executive (

Extractions: History: Since independence from Spain in 1825, Uruguay has suffered frequent outbreaks of political unrest. This is a consequence of a body politic deeply divided between the liberally inclined Colorado Party, under the quasi-dynastic leadership of the Batlle family (commonly known as 'Reds' but by no means communist) and the right-wing Blancos ('Whites'). Under the progressive regime of José Batlle y Ordonez between 1911 and 1915, Uruguay established Latin America's first welfare state, and the country continues to lead in this respect. Uruguay experienced relative peace until the 1960s, when economic difficulties led to an increase in labour unrest and the emergence of the Tupamaros guerrilla movement. In 1973 a military government was established and remained in power until 1985, by which time the Tupamaros had been defeated and all left-wing political activity outlawed. Dr Julio Sanguinetti of the Colorados held the presidency from 1985 until the presidential and congressional elections in November 1989, when the Blancos, under the banner of the Partido Nacional, achieved a majority in the National Assembly and their candidate, Luis Alberto Lacalle Herrera, was victorious in the presidential race. The new Government adopted the South American trend in economic policy by selling off some state-owned businesses, reducing government spending and attracting foreign investment, and has joined the Mercosur trading bloc with its neighbours.

Extractions: Uruguay's history throughout the 19th century was largely dominated by a struggle to retain its independence from both Brazil and Argentina after gaining its freedom from the Spanish colonial rule in 1828. The original Uruguayan flag was a white field with nine horizontal azure blue stripes, El sol de Mayo (The Sun Of May) in a white canton. The present flag was adopted on July 11, 1830. On that date, the number of stripes was reduced by law to five white and four blue - one for each of the nine political divisions originally forming the republic. Today, there are nineteen states. These states are called departamentos El Sol De Mayo has sixteen rays, alternating from straight to wavy (this symbolizes Uruguay's independence), while the white and blue stripes indicate her former association with Argentina. Uruguay's original emblem was the flag of Jose Artigas, the national hero who first tried in the early 19th century to to free the country from the Spanish rule. This flag was a blue, white and blue triband with a red diagonal running from the top hoist to foot of fly.

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.
