Happy day Uruguayans!. Today, August 25th, is Uruguay independence day. Uruguay became a zone of contention between the Spanish and the Portuguese empires during the 16th and 17th centuries. Montevideo (capital) was founded by the Spanish in the early 18th century. Uruguay's early 19th century was shaped by ongoing fights between the British, Spanish, Portuguese, and colonial forces for dominance in the Argentina- Brazil-Uruguay region. In 1811 Jose Artigas, became Uruguay's national hero, launched a successful revolt against Spain, defeating them on May 18th in the Battle of Las Piedras. The Portuguese forces, thanks to their numerical and material superiority, occupied Montevideo on Jan.20th , 1817, and finally after a struggle for 3 years in the countryside, defeated Artigas in the Battle of Tacuarembo. In 1821 Uruguay was annexed by Brazil under the name of Provincia Cisplatina. As a reaction the 33 Orientals led by Juan Antonio Lavalleja declared independence on August 25, 1825 supported by present-day Argentina. This led to the 500-day Argentina-Brazil war. Neither side gained the upper hand, and in 1828 the Treaty of Montevideo, fostered by the United Kingdom, gave birth Uruguay as an independent state. The nation first constitution was adopted on July 18, 1830.
