"Of course, the Uruguayans themselves were not invited to the discussions." 💀💀💀

"The short answer is Britain."

Sums most of world history over the last 500 years.

3:24 Uruguay was actually an ally and didn't let Nazis in during WW2. The same cannot be said for Brazil and Argentina unfortunately

As an Argentinian Im glad Uruguay exists because they are a perfect example of how Argentina would be without populism

[CesarEnjoyer]

Basically Uruguay is the Belgium of South America

thank you for hiring Stephen Hawking's cousin to narrate this for us

Fun fact: the italian general Giuseppe Garibaldi while he was in south america fought in the Urugayan Civil War (on the side of the colorados) and the Farrapos War (on the side of the Riograndese Republic)

*Paraguay watching in the corner:* Yeah, buffer state, I know that *Triple Alliance War flashbacks *

Yes, Uruguay: a bunch of Argentinians living in Brazilian territory.
Jokes aside, best country in the world.

Czechoslovakia: Bruh no one invited me to talk about me only?
Uruguay: First time?

[zanesc]

As a brazilian I'm happy someone else also acknowledges the usefulness of the word "Ta"

[punypuny]

In Argentina we say that Uruguay is "the rebel province" just to joke arround our uruguayans brothers

[ospider]

I'm Brazilian and I discovered that some of my ancestors were expelled from Colônia do Sacramento (next to Montevideo) when Uruguay gained independence from Brazil at the beginning of the 19th century 😂😂😢

no no no, on 4:32 they got it wrong, its 4 World Cups for Uruguay not 2

[MateusOliveira-dyqy]

The best neighboor Brazil has in the continent.👍

0:11 the recurring villain strikes again

[Ghostkilla]

Lol its usually with countries like this because other countries cant agree who can annex it so it serves as a buffer for regional powers.

[julianodriozola]

the last part can be explained since there are rumours of argentinians abroad who were kidnapped by terrorist groups (middle east probably?) and they got away with it because they were saying "messi maradona" which was the only thing the terrorist could understand. Being 2 characters really loved by people in certain places, incluiding that one, they ended up giving freedom to those who they recognized were from argentina only because of Diego and Lionel. Really crazy

[stavros]

uruguay is just a better version of argentina

[krakart]

I like this video a lot, there are some flaws but it's understandable since this story has been summarized a lot. And for a summary, it isn't half bad, you didn't fall into saying some *boludez* like "brazil had this territory so its brazilian", you instead showed the story of Uruguay in a more impartial way. Great job, bro!
