  • Sorry I took a week off, it was my birthday and I wasn't really feeling the birthday work.
    This is somewhat of an update to that old Laos introductory video idea. I had so much footage of Artigas I kind of had to. Hopefully this helps set the scene for future episodes.

Al menos los Brazucas tienen algo de derecho al llamarnos provincia, ya que si fuimos parte de su territorio (Algo en duda, ya que la provincia cisplatina era parte del IMPERIO de Brasil, no del actual Brasil), pero el Argento no tiene idea de que Uruguay NUNCA fue provincia.

      True, it's crazy to think that Uruguay could've still been part of Brazil if it weren't for the treaty. I'm surprised the Portuguese language didn't survive in Uruguay. Did the original Portuguese settlers move to Brazil or they stayed in Uruguay. Alot more Spanish settlers eventually out number the Portuguese I guess.

      Essa pode ser tua opinião e se respeita, mas te conto algo que não se fala muito por ai do Uruguay e o tal Matriarcado. Voce não deve ter a menor ideia da dificuldade que é para um pai exigir do Estado o simples direito de ter contato com seu filho(a), ou de um filho(a) ter contato com seu pai, uma vez que a Mae decide não querer. Sabe que aqui é considerado "normal" a criança não ter contato com o pai até depois de 6 anos de idade? Sabe a quantidade de transtornos e traumas que sofrem essas crianças quando impedem o vinculo da criança com o pai? Meu filho e eu vivemos esse mesmo problema que outras 90.000 familias daqui vivem (aprox. 360,000 pessoas) afectadas directamente. Eu, como brasileiro, pai de uma criança uruguaya, te digo uma coisinha mais com muito respeito. Um país que não pode pode cumprir nem com os direitos básicos das crianças, não pode ser visto como exemplo de identidade, desenvolvimento e sociedade. Abraço.

That was Uruguay's second World Cup title in soccer, Brazil had none at the time. 4 Years layer Brazil would beat Sweden at their home with a certain 16 years old black young man scoring one of the most iconic goals of all time against Sweden. But God yeah, Uruguay is huge and made us cry, I mean, really cry. Until today Brazilian broadcast talk about that event. Respect to my brothers from Uruguay, you guys bare awesome!

    I was lucky to be born in this beautiful country. Although my parents and I migrated to Australia in 1975 (some 45 years ago)... I still hold a very special place in my heart for my home, my people, my history... You see, we are not huge by size, or by natural wonders, by number of people, gold, oil, or armed strength.. we are huge by HEART. We are simple, humble, loving and trustworthy. I guess I'm doubly lucky to also call Australia home.. by definition we have it all here in OZ.. so I split my heart in two. Cannot deny that when I hear the word Uruguay, I get a shiver down my spine, and a little voice inside my head says... "That's my home" The so called rivalry between our neighbors is purely on the soccer pitch.. we are brothers to Brazilians, as much as Argentinians.. and it is possibly the heart that's left on that soccer pitch when we play against each other that makes us so much alike.

Uruguay has been independent for almost 2 centuries and we definitely do not see neither Argentines nor Brazilians as oppressors. There might be some obscure diplomatic plot in 19th century Brazil to regain Uruguay. But the balance of power was always held tight by Britain and later the US. It could be catastrophic for Brazil or Argentina to go to war over Uruguay. There are some minor rivalries over soccer but that;s about it. Uruguayans and Argentines don't see each other as foreign at all. Our relationship with the Brazilian people is not that close but it is very good. Brazil is a much bigger country than Argentina and also they speak a different language and historically Brazilians have always being more into their own culture.

My generation is the grandchildren of the pioneers that constructed this city, and their stories are very beautiful. Maybe you are the one who will tell their stories.

    I would add that Banda Oriental and Uruguay are not the same territory, the first one was almost twice bigger. Also Artigas didn't really fight for Uruguay's independence, he actually wanted to create the Liga Federal (Banda Oriental + some other Argentinian provinces, with a federal government).
    Uruguay became a nation when Buenos Aires and Brazil signed a peace treaty, with England acting as a mediator in 1828.

      @@212-3 Yes, as you say, he fought for the territory that is Uruguay today. But at that time, Uruguay didn't even exist as an idea, no one wanted to create it as an independent country simply because no one felt Uruguayan, there was no national identity at all.

      In addition to Artigas wanting establish a bigger federal entity closer to modern day Argentina than to either Uruguay nor the centralist Argentina of his own times, it is worth noting that the "33 Orientales" didn't fight for an independent Uruguay either.
      On August 25, 1825, a date that is now celebrated as Independence Day in Uruguay, the 33 Orientales met in the small town of Florida, a few hours north of Montevideo and they signed three laws (or rather, proclaimed them). The first one was the Law of Independence, which clearly stated that the 'Banda Oriental' was independent from Brazil, Spain and 'any other foreign power'. But then, the second law was the Law of Union, establishing that the territory was to join Argentina (which was clearly not seen as a foreign power by the 33 Orientales). The third law had to do with a flag for the territory, which is now one of three official national flags, but it's not the main flag (though you'll often find the three flags flown together in modern Uruguay).
      Although the expedition of the 33 Orientales, along with the parallel struggles of creole warlord Rivera (which will, no doubt, feature prominently in following videos), are often portrayed as the 'Uruguayan war of independence' (and it is often presented as such in the Uruguayan educational system), it was more of an offshoot of a bigger Argentine-Brazilian war, with both powers tugging over the 'Cisplatine/Eastern Band' territory. That is not to say that there weren't locals who yearned for their own voice to be heard, separate from those of Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. After all, many of those people had followed Artigas (some had actually physically followed him as he marched north), and Artigas had found bitter enemies both in the Portuguese and in the Buenos Aires elites that led Argentina. But those voices weren't as loud in the roar of war and their ideals were for certain not the ones that the 33 Orientales carried as they proclaimed the Union with their neighbours in the west and fought those in the north.
      When the end of the war came in the form of a treaty, it was Argentinians and Brazilians who sat on the table along the British negotiators, but Uruguayans were not a party in that treaty. Actually, that is not quite right: some of the peoples who came from Banda Oriental were represented, but as part of Argentina, the nation the 33 Orientales fought for. But the territory that until then had been the Brazilian "Provincia Cisplatina" was not a negotiating subject in that treaty: it was the negotiated object instead. And it was out of that treaty that the neutral state which would eventually name itself Uruguay came to be, getting an independence that was yearned by many but not fought as diligently as the narrative of an 'Uruguayan war of independence' would lead you to believe. Though it should also be said that most prominent of the 33 Orientales who had fought in the name of Argentina were more than happy to establish a sovereign state they would themselves lead, as was Rivera, a man who I could only say had fought for himself more than for any power anywhere. It is no wonder Rivera and former 33 Orientales leaders such as Oribe would be among the first Uruguayans to seize power in their newly independent nation and that the rivalry between Rivera's Colorados and Oribe's Blancos would set the scene for two centuries of political division (and many a civil war) that defined 19th century Uruguay and strongly influenced 20th century Uruguay (though it would be a different Colorado, Battle y Ordóñez, who really set the stage for the country as we know it).

The war was mainly a Brazilian-Argentine affair and peace was settled by the British, creating a buffer state between the two South American powers.

      All the independent processes is a little bit mixed here. And Artigas lived until 1850 and he didn't participate in the creation of the Uruguayan state because he was in favor of "LA liga Federal". The "wonderful" work of Lord Ponsonby in "La Convención Preeliminar de Paz" in 1828 is not mentioned. Well, this gentleman participated in the "creation" of Uruguay and Belgium, small states among giants are alive and well today.

    Great video! Although as a uruguayan I'd like to make a few sidenotes.
    In 1825 "independence" was declared only form Brazil, the document established re-anexation with the United Provinces (nowadays Argentina). Obviously after that Brazil wouldn't stay arms crossed, so it started a war between between Argentina and Brazil, both forces were so even that it lasted for many years. Here is where Britain comes into play, with interests in region the British proposed for the first time the idea of an independent state, seen as the only solution to the conflict a treaty of peace was signed in 1828 and Uruguay was left on its own to write their own constitution, finally proclaimed in 1830.

      Es por esto que esas dos medallas de oro cuentan como copas del mundo y ningún otro juego olímpico cuenta como copa del mundo, sólo esos dos.

      I just saw you on an Unus Annus video and I find it supremely amusing that we seem to have a similar range of taste in CZcams videos

    Pues si, somos "raros", por eso existimos. Soy uruguaya, escribo en español.
    Los atardeceres en Colonia del Sacramento..... imperdibles!!!!! Para un fotógrafo o pintor artístico tiene muchísimo material, además de ser una ciudad generosamente amplia, muy arbolada, una bahía pintoresca y hermosa.
    Hermosa ciudad, muy diferente a todas del país.
    Gracias por el vídeo y explicación de su historia, aunque se basa en la "oficial tradicional".
