Asked by Wiki User

Uruguay successfully defeated the Spanish colonial forces on May 18, 1811. However, the country was claimed in part by Brazil, which was in the process of declaring its own independence from Portugal (1822).

Uruguayans declared independence from the Empire of Brazil on August 25, 1825, and received military aid from Argentina. Brazil and Argentina signed the Treaty of Montevideo in 1828 establishing the Republic of Uruguay.

Why is the film Jaws set on the Fourth of July?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It was natural to pick this time. It's summer, it's hot, and lots of folks want to cool off by going to the beach over the holiday. It's the 4th of July, what could possibly go wrong? Add a really, really big shark and things can get out of control. Answer 2 Also, it may have something to do with the projected release date. Have you noticed how the movies released at Thanksgiving and Christmas are often holiday specific??? Answer 3 It was set on the 4th of July because it was the day that the US formally adopted the Declaration of Independence from the UK. It was going to attract holiday makers to the beaches of America. Answer 4 The first answer is a good answer. The plot just makes sense with the setting and it all just "fit". The first answer simply states that at the Fourth of July, a crowd of people would normally decend on the beach. Add a very big hungry shark and it made a good movie. The second answer indicates that Hollywood film makers often make holiday movies that have a release date that coincides with a particular holiday. So if the projected release date was June or July then setting the movie at the Fourth of July was calculated to be more frightening, because the nearness of the date made it more plausible in the minds of those who went to the movie to be pleasantly frightened.
