A Brief History Of Uruguay Small Country, Rich History The first explorers to what is now Uruguay were Spanish arrived in the very early 1500's. It was quickly apparant that there were no precious metals in the area and the local indians were very hostile. It was not for another hundred years before a permanent European settlement was in place. The first was in what is now Colonia and was founded by the Portuguese in an attempt to rival the Spanish in Buenos Aires. In the early 1700's Spain responded to this threat by founding Montevideo, which became a very important commercial port. For a period of time the area that today is Uruguay was part of a political and miltary tug of war between the Spanish and Portuguese. Jose Artigas declared Uruguay to be independent in 1815. Shortly afterwards Brazil attacked and after a number of years of fighting, Uruguay was annexed into Brazil in 1821. Hostilities continued and this brought Argentina and Brazil into conflict as well. Hostilities ran from 1825 through 1828. At that time the British helped put together a peace treaty between Argentina and Brazil that also ended up guaranteeing Uruguay's independence.

The years 1835-1851 were Marked by political instability, coups, coup attempts, a civil war between the BLANCOS (whites, the conservatives) and COLORADOS (coloureds, the liberals), in which political maverick GUISEPPE GARIBALDI played a role (1842-1846). In 1864, Brazil invaded to press for the payment of damages inflicted on Brazilian citizens; Uruguayan General VENANCIO FLORES (Col.) toppled President ATANAZIO CRUZ AGUIRRE (Blanco). When Paraguay, under Dictator Francisco Solano Lopez, intervened on the side of the Blancos, the TRIPARTITE WAR between Paraguay on one side and Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay on the other broke out (1865-1870). Early in the 19th century the remaining Indio population was decimated and the interior opened for cattle ranching, Uruguay being GAUCHO country. Slavery was abolished in 1830/1843.

Extractions: In 1919 a new constitution was passed; political stability was to continue for over a decade. Continuing the policy of two-time president JOSE BATLLE (-1915), Uruguay succeeded in reducing foreign debt, Uruguayan banks being able to extend most credits within the country. As a consequence, the international crises of 1923 was felt to a smaller extent in Uruguay than elsewhere. Uruguay established a welfare system; the country has been referred to as 'Latin America's only Welfare State' . The economic policy included nationalization of some sectors and protectionism, by raising import tariffs.
Extractions: Revised Edition - CREATION AND EVOLUTION By Law of February 24th, 1911, the Military Pension Fund was founded, thus establishing the Military Social Security system from an institutional point of view. By Law of November 12th, 1942, the Military Pension Fund becomes a legal entity and on October 13th, 1956 the Constitution and Legislation Commission of the Senators' Chamber unanimously concluded that it should have administrative autonomy. By Law of November 30th, 1960, the Military Pension Fund changes its name to "Military Retirement and Pension Fund." By Law of February 21st, 1974 and Law of April 30th, 1974, the Military Retirement and Pension Fund, up to then a State legal entity with its own patrimony and administrative autonomy, becomes the "Military Retirement and Pensions Service", directly dependent on the Ministry of National Defence. (Article 145 of the last of the above mentioned laws stipulates that: "Include in Section 3 - Ministry of National Defence - Section 31 - "Military Retirement and Pension Fund" as a sub-division of the above mentioned section which will be called "Military Retirement and Pensions Service." This enactment does not modify neither the legal status of the passivities under its charge nor the patrimony affected to them.")

Uruguay Uruguay Introduction Uruguay Background: 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's political and labor conditions are among the freest on the continent.

Extractions: The case for open trade The WTOs roots The Uruguay Round It took seven and a half years, almost twice the original schedule. By the end, 125 countries were taking part. It covered almost all trade, from toothbrushes to pleasure boats, from banking to telecommunications, from the genes of wild rice to AIDS treatments. It was quite simply the largest trade negotiation ever, and most probably the largest negotiation of any kind in history.
Extractions: It was the biggest trade negotiation in history. How and why did the Uruguay Round come about? What did the participating countries seek? How did their objectives develop over eight years of bargaining? What were the twists, turns, setbacks and successes encountered in each stage and sector of the negotiations? The author, John Croome, was a senior official in the GATT Secretariat for 23 years, until 1993, having previously worked for EFTA, the World Bank and The Guardian newspaper. Avoiding technical 'GATTspeak', he lifts the curtain on the drama behind the negotiations, including the conclusion of the Final Act. Through wide access to the many hundreds of official and unofficial documents, internal memoranda, press reports, private meeting notes and, of course, personal memory the story is told in a frank, lively and non-technical narrative.

Extractions: In this volume, Alexander sketches the history of organized labor in the countries of Uruguay and Paraguay. He covers such topics as the role of organized labor in the economics and politics of these two countries and their relations with the international labor movement. It is based on extensive personal contacts of the author with the labor movements over almost half a century. It may seem unusual at first to have both of these countries in one volume because there does not exist anywhere else in Latin America such historical political disparity between neighboring countries as that between Uruguay and Paraguay. However in spite of the political contrasts, there are certain similarities in the history of the labor movements of these two republics.
