Modern Uruguay
Between 1865 & 1870 Uruguay
was involved in the war of the Triple Alliance. Allied with Argentina & Brazil, they
fought
against Paraguay & won. The Colorades controlled politics in Uruguay from 1865 until 1958.
During this era
many Europeans immigrated to Uruguay & made up half the population. Under
the leadership of president Batlle positive
labor & social reform was implemented coupled
with progressive legislation on the rights of women.
