The Transition to Democracy, 1984-85 FROM PRE-COLUMBIAN TIMES TO THE CONQUEST 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.

For the remainder of the century, the contest between the Blancos and Colorados continued, immersing the country in civil war, dictatorship and political intrigue. In the early 20th century, the visionary President José Batlle y Ordóñez achieved far-reaching reforms and made Uruguay the only 'welfare state' in Latin America. During his two terms as president - 1903-07 and 1911-15 - he implemented a range of free social services, abolished capital punishment and sought to curb the country's legacy of strong-arm rule. Uruguay soon flourished on the back of the rural livestock sector but its failure to grow, coupled with the country's lack of natural resources, meant the welfare state became increasingly fictitious over time. The country's former prosperity had ebbed away by the 1960s as state-supported enterprises became riddled with corruption. The country slid into dictatorship and was thrown into turmoil by the Tupamaros, an urban guerrilla movement which appeared publicly in 1967.

Uruguay Time and Date Uruguay History Back to Top 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.

En la región habitaban los aborígenes charrúas y guaraníes. Los charrúas vivían hacia el siglo XVII, en la mayor parte de la provincia de Entre Ríos. Eran altos y robustos y se dedicaban a la caza de venados y ñandúes, mientras que los charrúas del litoral practicaban la pesca en sus largas canoas. Complementaban su dieta con huevos de ñandú, cogollos de ceibo y frutos silvestres. Vivían en chozas construidas con ramas arqueadas, cuyos techos eran pieles de vaca o de caballo. Su vestimenta consistía en un delantal de algodón o de piel y en ocasiones de un manto de piel. Los guaraníes pertenecían a la gran familia lingüística tupi-guaraní. De estatura mediana, solían andar enteramente desnudos, a excepción de algunos adornos de plumas y pequeñas tangas. También acostumbraban a pintarse todo el cuerpo. Eran sedentarios. Construían chozas redondas, con paredes de barro y paja, o casas comunales de madera y hojas, en las que vivían varias familias. Cultivaban la mandioca, la batata, el maíz y el zapallo en la milpa. Sus armas eran el arco -llegaba a medir más de dos metros- y las flechas y la macana.

URUGUAY In colonial times, Portugal controlled much of Uruguay, although the Spanish had ben the first European explorers. By 1828, the Uruguayans has successfully expelled the Portuguese. Though a constitution was drafted, the country soon fell into civil war which continued for several decades. From 1865 to 1958 the Colorado party was the dominant force in Uruguay. During the early part of this period, Europeans settled in the country so enthusiastically that by 1880, newcomers constituted about fifty percent of the population. Still, civil war threatened with the last eruption occurring in 1904. Though a military coup succeeded in 1933, by 1951 the people were calling for a return to a plural system. Over the next decades, political tensions continued and the country witnessed the rise of the Tupamaros (the National Liberation Movement) in 1967 which further served to destabilize the country. In 1973, the military again took control in a repressive and brutal regime and it was not until over a decade later that a civilian presidential election was held.
