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.
