    Extractions: The Transition to Democracy, 1984-85 In contrast to most Latin American countries, no significant vestiges of civilizations existing prior to the arrival of European settlers were found in the territory of present-day Uruguay. Lithic remains dating back 10,000 years have been found in the north of the country. They belonged to the Catalan and Cuareim cultures, whose members were presumably hunters and gatherers. Other peoples arrived in the region 4,000 years ago. They belonged to two groups, the Charrúa and the Tupí-Guaraní, classified according to the linguistic family to which they belonged. Neither group evolved past the middle or upper Paleolithic level, which is characterized by an economy based on hunting, fishing, and gathering. Other, lesser indigenous groups in Uruguay included the Yaro, Chaná, and Bohane. Presumably, the Chaná reached lower Neolithic levels with agriculture and ceramics. In the early sixteenth century, Spanish seamen searched for the strait linking the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans. Juan Díaz de Solís entered the Río de la Plata by mistake in 1516 and thus discovered the region. Charrúa Indians allegedly attacked the ship as soon as it arrived and killed everyone in the party except for one boy (who was rescued a dozen years later by Sebastian Cabot, an Englishman in the service of Spain). Although historians currently believe that Díaz de Solís was actually killed by the Guaraní, the "Charrúa legend" has survived, and Uruguay has found in it a mythical past of bravery and rebellion in the face of oppression. The fierce Charrúa would plague the Spanish settlers for the next 300 years.

    Extractions: 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. Sanguinetti's economic reforms, focusing on the attraction of foreign trade and capital, achieved some success and stabilized the economy. In order to promote national reconciliation and facilitate the return of democratic civilian rule, Sanguinetti secured public approval by plebiscite of a controversial general amnesty for military leaders accused of committing human rights violations under the military regime, and sped the release of former guerrillas.

    Extractions: Time and Date When spaniards determined the territory of present-day Uruguay in 1516, they found only a rolling prairie populated by groups of Indians living in primitive conditions. When confronted by the Spaniards, the Indians fiercely defended their freedom and their independent way of life. their continued ferocious resistance to Spanish conquest, combined with the absence of gold and silver, discouraged settlement in this region during the 16th and early 17th centuries. Colonization by Spain began to increase, when Portugal showed an interest in expanding Brazil's frontiers to the Río de la Plata Estuary in the late 17th century. Indeed, the early history of Uruguay is controlled by the fight between Spain and Portugal and then between Brazil and Argentina for control of the Banda Oriental -as Uruguay was then known, the eastern side, or bank, so called because the territory lies to the east of the Río Uruguay, which forms the border with Argentina and flows into the Río de la Plata.

    Extractions: var addthis_pub = 'paula22'; Uruguay's history in a few lines The roots of Uruguay's history first started being built by its native people known as the Charrúas. The Charrúas were Uruguay's original population and were the people who brought to life the first characteristics of the country, giving shape to its future personality and being always somehow present in Uruguay's culture. Next in Uruguay's history and following some of its most relevant data, at beginnings of the 16th century, Spanish and Portuguese forces started fighting for Uruguay's lands, and kept Uruguay over two centuries under their domains. This way, some of the country's main historical spots, buildings and even towns were founded by Portuguese or Spanish people. An example of this is the historical town of Colonia del Sacramento, which was founded by the Portuguese forces at the 19th century and which is, nowadays, one of Uruguay's main attractions. A very important moment within the history of Uruguay happened at August 25, 1825. At this date, and after being able to finally being successful at fighting against the Spanish and Portuguese forces which had taken the country, Uruguay became an independent Republic. Later, at July 18, 1830,  a new step into Uruguay history was taken and Uruguay's first Constitution was created and established.

    Extractions: By Ekaterina Zhdanova-Redman Do you know what it feels like to be "stuck in the middle?" Maybe it's a time you've been the smallest person around. Worse yet, you're the person everyone is shoving around. You're squeezed, pushed, and punched. How would that feel? There's a small country in South America that's stuck between two larger and stronger nations. And throughout most of its history, this country has been pushed around.

    Extractions: A violent Marxist urban guerrilla movement, the Tupamaros, launched in the late 1960s, led Uruguay's president to agree to military control of his administration in 1973. By the end of the year the rebels had been crushed, but the military continued to expand its hold throughout the government. Civilian rule was not restored until 1985. Uruguay has long had one of South America's highest standards of living; its political and labor conditions are among the freest on the continent.

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. MORE 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 conflicts between the British, Spanish, Portuguese, and colonial forces for dominance in the Argentina-Brazil-Uruguay region. In 1811, Jose Gervasio Artigas, who became Uruguay's national hero, launched a successful revolt against Spain. In 1821, the Provincia Oriental del Rio de la Plata, present-day Uruguay, was annexed to Brazil by Portugal. The Provincia declared independence from Brazil in August 25, 1825 (after numerous revolts in 1821, 1823, and 1825) but decided to adhere to a regional federation with Argentina.
