Civic War in Uruguay
The Civic War in Uruguay, also known as the Uruguayan Civil War, occurred between 1839 and 1851. It was primarily a conflict between the Blancos (Whites) and the Colorados (Reds), two political factions vying for control of the country. The war was marked by a series of battles and political struggles, reflecting deep social and economic divisions within Uruguay.
The conflict ended with the Battle of Caseros in 1852, which led to the defeat of the Blancos. This war significantly shaped Uruguay's political landscape, establishing the dominance of the Colorados and influencing future governance and civil rights in the nation.
