This video explores the basics of Uruguayan history and politics to explain how it is that Uruguay overcame a history of civil war and conflict to become one of the better run and richest countries in Latin America. It begins with Artigas revolt against the Spanish in alliance with Buenos Aires, how he turned against them and ended up in exile. How Uruguay was born as a buffer state between Brazil and Argentina and what led to the creation of blancos and colorados. It then covers the transformative power of Battle y Ordoñez, the coup in 1973 and its return to democracy in 1985. It ends with Pepe Mujica and Luis Lacalle Pou.
