to the territory east of the Uruguay River, and eventually
moved/established seven missions in the region. Two, San Juan Bautista
and San Lorenzo, were established with Guarani populations from existing
missions. The Portuguese establishment of Colonia do Sacramento near
Buenos Aires in the Banda Oriente prompted the return to the disputed
borderlands".

The
nationalisation of the British Railways in Uruguay
The aim of this paper is to study in detail
how British economic interests retreated from Uruguay after the Second
World War. It also throws some light on how certain Latin American
countries behaved as creditor nations: we know much about their
behaviour as debtors but almost nothing about how they used their
creditor status. In these negotiations, where financial and economic
aspects were closely linked, Uruguay accepted most of Britain’s demands,
including the use of its sterling balances for the nationalization of
the British owned railways. By doing this, and not buying back its
foreign debt, Uruguay was soon in need to ask for a credit to Britain
and thus return to an old pattern of indebtedness.
