Brazil

Portuguese
established
Colonia del Sacramento
, one of the oldest European settlements in the region, in 1680. Montevideo was founded as a military stronghold by the
Spanish
in the early 18th century, signifying the competing claims over the region. Uruguay won its independence between 1811 and 1828, following a four-way struggle between Spain, Portugal, Argentina and Brazil. It remained subject to foreign influence and intervention throughout the 19th century, with the military playing a recurring role in domestic politics until the late 20th century. Modern Uruguay is a
