As a uruguayan I really liked this video, nice job!! Though I have to remark a mistake, we are not known as "porteños" those are argentinians from Buenos Aires.
As a Canadian my favourite thing about Uruguay is how the main aspect of their identity is not being Argentinean just like how Canadians mainly identify themselves as not being American.

In addition to the flag being very similar, Uruguay and Greece share the same "slogan": Freedom or Death. And the Greek flag, like the Uruguayan, does not have a defined shade of blue. So the color has varied over time, being a lighter or darker blue, often depending on the political side. In addition, the Uruguayan sun is very similar to some representations of the sun, in Greek culture, and other flags and symbols in the culture of the countries of the Mediterranean region. They are very interesting coincidences. The Greek flag always caught our attention as Uruguayans at school, because the question always arises as to which country has that similar flag.
Paraguayan here, love the episode! Despite the fact that we don't share a land border, we paraguayans feel very conected to our uruguayan brothers starting from the very name that comes from guarani lenguage, even though the largest indigenous group that inhabited Uruguay where actally the charruas. I find a lot of uruguayan culture very similar to ours, we love yerba mate and asado, we both had to deal with our argentine an Brazil neighbours in the past and fun fact: the paraguayan war started when Paraguay decided to support one of the political parties in Uruguay but the other party that eventually gain power was supported by the other two countries in the conflict lol But regardless of any conflict or misunderstanding, we will always admire Uruguay, they're such an oustanding country, a great example in our region and we paraguayans aim to persue all the good things that Uruguay has achieve in the last years. Uruguay nomaaa!
❤We are brothers and sisters with Paraguay : also, we are the only two subContinental nations that kept their true native names *Uruguay* *Paraguay* 🫶👋
One thing not explained in the episode is the amount of futbol that is actually played by Uruguayans on a regular basis. A complete order of magnitude compared to anywhere else.
Brazilian here wishing all the best to our Uruguayan brothers. I feel like our two countries have such a great friendship and our history is so intertwined. The one time I met an Uruguayan abroad, I felt a deep connection, felt like "we really get each other", and all my brazilian friends who visited Uruguay have only good things to say about our brothers' country. I hope to visit one day too ! On a sidenote, I just love how in our border twin city Chui/Chuy, the southernmost brazilian street is called "Uruguay street" and the northernmost uruguayan street is called "Brazil street" lol Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷 🇺🇾
I visited Uruguay earlier this year and loved it! The 'vibe' there is so relaxed; I have never been anywhere as relaxed as Uruguay. Very lovely country with lovely people!
As a Bosnian I gotta admit I knew almost nothing about Uruguay before watching this video apart from football/soccer, Luis Suarez (who can ever forget about him lol) Diego Forlan among all the other legends but now I know so much more about it. It’s kinda sad though how in the grand scheme of things when it comes to everything Latin or South American Uruguay is often pushed to the sidelines and ignored entirely or often just called mini Argentina which is really a shame since Uruguay is a really unique and interesting country on its own despite being really small overall and the most underrated Latin American country in my opinion and I really hope to visit it at some point in my life hopefully. Greetings and much respect from Bosnia and Herzegovina! 🇧🇦🇺🇾
8:14 *Fun fact:* Paso de los Toros is also a drink, a uruguayan soda from this town. The Pepsi company bought this drink and sells it in several South American countries.
I am from Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, me and family love Uruguay and travel to it. They all are our brothers, gauchos. We share the mate, asado, futbol, passion and amistad. A peaceful country with lovely people
I actually have family in Uruguay. When my Great Grandfather came to the US from Russia in 1900's there was a quota so only he and his sister could come here. His youngest brother ended up going to Uruguay and that branch of my family is still there. I have never met any of them though. One day I hope to go
There is a small town founded by Russian immigrants called San Javier. There isn't really much to see but they've got this large Matryoshka dolls sculpture on a park and they have a Russian food festival every now and then. I think it was founded by Old Believers or some other persecuted religious minority. If that matches your great grandfather's history, then chances are that his brother came to that town although the rest of the family might have moved elsewhere later on. Otherwise, it's more likely that they came to Montevideo or the nearby towns in Canelones.
Thank you guys, you have done a great job. Just a few little things here and there, like, we are NOT PORTEÑOS!!!!! Otherwise, you've covered pretty much everything accurately. Loved it.
I have been to Uruguay many times, since I live in the south of Brazil. It is a lovely and beautiful country and uruguaians are very kind people. 🇧🇷❤🇺🇾
I've met a lot of Uruguayans in POA, and yeah I tried to convince them to reunite with Brazil so we would make the best football team in the universe 💙
Uruguayan here, great video! One tiny correction, though: "Lago Mirim" is actually not a lake, but a lagoon, so it should be referred as "laguna" in spanish and as "lagoa" in portuguese. Also, "Mirim" is the portuguese name, whereas "Merín" is the spanish one. In short, us Uruguayans call it "Laguna Merín" and Brazil calls it "Lagoa Mirim".
@@andyjay729hello, words that finish in "m" we say them with "m", mirim we say mirim. I don't think that are any words in Portuguese finishing with "ng"
I am Argentinian and I liked how much respect you showed by not mixing our cultures. They have a different culture and there is no Argentinian person who at some point has not wanted to be Uruguayan, not only because of the quality of the people but also because of the beaches. Our brothers have a gorgeous country 🎉🎉
as Paraguayan, i want to reassure the planet that what happened in the past is fully repaired thanks to the economical help and the great midfielders and coaches sent from our brother nation. grande Uruguay
Shoutout to my favourite astronomer, Julio Angel Fernandez of the Universidad de la República in Montevideo. In a just world, the Kuiper belt would be called the Fernandez belt, since he was the first to propose it.
Haha, I met the guy when I was studying at the faculty of sciences. He was also responsible for the recategorization of pluto as a dwarf planet instead of planet.
Always at your service, Barbs! It is always an honor to share my country's wildest side with the world, specially since thats one of the most underrated sides of Uruguay!

23:01 I was waiting the whole video for you to talk about the Andes flight disaster and the way y'all put it you make it seem like it wasn't an *actual real* event, like it was just a movie.
Hugs to all Uruguayans from Costa Rica. Two of the most stable democracies in the region, which invested highly on a welfare state and strong institutions, championing many human rights and with a clean energy network. When Uruguay was in the times of the right wing dictatorships, a lot of Uruguayan scenic artists and other intellectuals managed to escape the repression and they established themselves here, further enriching our cultural scene in the 70s and 80s (together with others from Argentina, Chile, etc., plus Costa Rican artists and intellectuals). Costa Rica is currently suffering the strong consequences of decades with an increase of inequality (with an explosion of criminality), unresolved urban and especially rural poverty and the effects of the pandemic on our economy and educational system, but let's be hopeful that things get back to a more peaceful state. We in Costa Rica never forget that is was Julio María Sanguinetti, the first Uruguayan president after the right wing dictatorship and a great statesman by himself, who said "Wherever there is a Costa Rican, there is freedom". So, hope the best to our brothers and sisters from the Southern Cone. Regarding the video, it is awesome. I just missed the mention and the writers Juan Carlos Onetti and Mario Benedetti (an amazing poet), any of which could have gotten the Literature Nobel Prize, as well as the excelent poet Juana de Ibarbourou.
Uruguay is probably one of the least talked about countries in the world, which is a shame because it has so much going for it! The country's geography is beautiful and it's people are wonderful! Plus, I love Uruguayan history, I've studied a lot of it back in 2018. Uruguay also has one of the best national flags in the world!
@@idk-ye7ur As an Uruguaian (and apologizing for my english) most of the country is hills and pasture land, filled with rivers and creeks mosly, but there are some really beautyfull places here and there. it isn´t as stunning as Argentina perhaps (they have a lot of variety and is really striking in places as cordoba or near the Andes) but it is beautyfull indeed. places like Piriapolis, Las sierras de Minas, etc. really pretty places . another cool thing is that mostly everything is whitin driving distance so is pretty easy to get a bus or drive in the spur of the moment. of course im a local and by no means imparcial, have a nice day!!
@@idk-ye7ur Uruguay it's the top 1 beach destination for argentinians since their coast is really different, uruguayan beaches are like the south of Brazil. On the other hand, all argentinian millionaires are having their summer houses in Uruguay, mostly in Punta de Este city (it has been referred to as "the Monaco of the South", "The Pearl of the Atlantic", "the Hamptons of South America","the Miami Beach of South America", or "the St. Tropez of South America")
We also have a kick-ass national anthem. We hear it and are ready to start kicking ass and talking names 😜 Some even argue that's the reason we're so competitive.
As a football fan, I always loved Uruguay for no valid reason at all, only thanks to how they play football. Glad to see my unfounded feelings be substantiated massively. Really hope I get to visit one day
It is incredible, but yes, to any country that I visited around the world I found a lot of people who loved Uruguayan futbol and they know Uruguay only for the futbol too, lol.
I am really good at geography, but the only thing I knew about Uruguay was that the have a similar flag to Greece. This is so eye-opening! Always love to see your channel!
Good video. As an Uruguayan, I am going to clarify a few things: - The majority indigenous people were the Guarani, there is a myth regarding the Charrúas, which is highly politicized, so I am not going to go into details. Guarani was spoken until the late sxx or early sxx, in the north of the country. - There have been bigger conflicts with Argentina besides this one mentioned. In the middle of the last century, there was a boundary conflict between President Batlle Berres and Argentine President Perón. And in the 19th century, a conflict with Juan Manuel de Rosas, in which Uruguay was divided into two governments and capitals, between the white and red factions. - Uruguay did not give residence to the Nazis. Those who arrived in Uruguay, like Merkele, were not yet known or wanted. They escaped from Uruguay when they began to be wanted, because in Uruguay they were not going to have government support. Thus, many escaped to Brazil and Argentina. - The Batlle Berres government was contrary and spoke badly of the Perón government, which did give asylum to former Nazi combatants. For this reason and others, Batlle Berres himself considered that the movement known as "Peronism" was synonymous with "fascism." -Uruguay has one of the oldest political party systems in the world, since the Blanco and Colorado parties date from 1836. Even older than the American bipartidism. The Frente Amplio, a "new" party, is more than 50 years old. Uruguayan culture is bipartisan. - Beyond the War with Paraguay, which Uruguayans usually consider a black part of history, there were never bad relations with Paraguay.
As a peruvian, we are close to Uruguay and believe them to be our brothers as well as the argentinians. We know that they can hold their ground and even though they have a small population they are titans in the region. They are of course welcome to Peru and we feel welcomed in Uruguay always.
❤Soy Uruguaya y amo Perú 🫂🫶 de hecho, todos los hermanos de la región de venimos del Imperio como guía (de ahí el homenaje en la bandera Uruguaya al sol Inca🇺🇾🫶✨) Abrazo 🧉👋
@@Laureano93No es así. Los peruanos también son nuestros hermanos. Es más, ellos nos aman más que ustedes, queridos uruguayos. Saludos desde el otro lado del charco.
I’m kicking myself because I didn’t wait to teach Uruguay and did it Friday with an old slideshow. I am infinitely grateful for these videos, for the research and visuals that I could never accomplish. Through the videos, I’m able to show underserved students that these places are real and beautiful and they learn about the far reaches of the world.
In Romania, when we try to say that we understand what you're telling, we say "aaah, da" and also to "stop bothering me" or "yeah, like what you say" we say "da da da da da da", which is pretty close to "ta". In Romanian "da" means "yes".
In Chilean Spanish, we sometimes say "Ya. Está" to mean something like "Ok, it's a done deal", "Ok, so be it", "Ok, I get it," and/or "Alright, alright - Settle down". Maybe the Uruguayan Ta has the same 'está' origin? 🤔🤔
We also use "da"! Here "da" is a diminutive of "dale" that translates to "okey/alright". So when we want to confirm something we usually say: "Ah, da da!" Salute to our romanian brothers from this tiny south american nation, always forgotten in the romance languages talks!
The most famous Uruguayan TH-camr is called "El Bananero" and he was born in New Jersey! (be careful if you check him up, his humor is not for everyone 😂)
I got introduced to this series two years ago when I was in sixth grade during my Spanish Class. Around that time, Switzerland had just dropped, and it’s crazy to think that I’m only two years, you’ve shaped my personality so much, and now this series is coming to an end. I’m not an OG, but still insane seeing us reach closer to Zimbabwe. Congrats! And thanks, from all of us.
Fun Fact: Uruguay is so small in land size that is actually bigger than Bangladesh, Greece, Bulgaria, Iceland, South Korea, Hungary, Portugal, Serbia, Austria, Czech Republic, Ireland, Sri Lanka, Croatia, Denmark (Mainland), the Netherlands, Switzerland, Taiwan, Belgium and Israel.
As an Indian who is a fan of Uruguayan football team ,i want to visit Uruguay really bad.Sadly a lot of non football fans i know have never even heard of this country.They really should know about Uruguay 🇺🇾 🇮🇳🤝🇺🇾

Lovely to see a GN video come out just 8 minutes ago, especially one on such an obscure country and kinda out of nowhere Love to Uruguay and all Uruguayans from Australia!
When I was told the rules of Truco for the first time by an Uruguayan I legit though he was trolling me. Thanks for reminding me of the best card game to ever exist
It's true Uruguay is not often talked about, but at least in the rest of South America, when we talk about her it's to say how proud we are of all Uruguayans have achieved (in sports, literature, architecture, democracy, economic stability...) and how much we other South-Americans (openly or secretly) envy them.
@@globalizacionliquida soberbio sería si lo dijera un uruguayo. Seguro no es un país perfecto, pero al menos este boliviano tiene envidia (de la buena) y oigo a muchos de mi país y de otros repetir que Uruguay es el ejemplo a seguir, junto con Costa Rica
The most interesting person that I have ever met was a man from Uruguay, who has lived in Japan for about 40 years. I will never forget him. Musashi-san
Recently been watching some episodes from years ago and it's amazing to still see all the familiar faces and also the insane increase of quality compared to the very first episodes. I would really wish to see some remake/revisits of those older episodes as they're not comparable to the newer ones.
If latin american countries are like brothers, Argentina and Uruguay are identical twins. But argentina was born 5 minutes earlier so it pretends to be the big brother. A lot of people compare the Canada-USA or the Austria-Germany relationship to Argentina and Uruguay, but I think even that falls short. Being from Buenos Aires (province, not city) I feel more at home in Montevideo than I feel in the northern parts of Argentina, or even in parts of my own province. It is truly amazing to have such a similar country there, always supporting each other, even if we sometimes bicker like brothers do.
Stop comparing us Americans to the poorhouses of Canada, Argentina, and Uruguay. America is a flourishing democracy. Argentina, Canada, and Uruguay are failed state dictatorships.
I find your point quite accurate, I've heard that type of refference in my life while living here in Montevideo from nationals and tourists or neighrbour countries, it is so deep the historical ties between the two nations that some of us need a very trained ear to note the difference haha! anyways Saludos! and I agree with your posture.
@@piedrablanca1942 todos ustedes tiene hermanos cercanos, argentina y uruguay, bolivia, y peru, avenezuela, colmbia y ecuador, guatemala, honduras, el salvador y nicaragua, costarica y panama cuba y republica dominicana, y los que no tiene hermanos tan cercanos son paraguay, chile, y mexico
technically speaking, Buenos Aires constructed the port of Montevideo before it became even a city... Uruguay was a disputed land for quite a while, and they had political power in the region before it became a buffer state, so in some way, more than a big brother, they are more akin to a father
Fun fact: Argentina and Uruguay's only land border is on two islands that fused together in the 80s! Arg's Martin García island and Uy's Timoteo Domínguez island. Another fun fact: I love chivitos, but my favourite variation of it, the chivito canadiense, has a very misleading name as it's neither goat (chivo/chivito) nor Canadian. Also, a correction: Isla de Lobos doesn't translate to "Wolves Island" but "Fur Seal/Sea Lion Island", as these animals are called Lobos Marinos ("Sea Wolves") in Spanish! And, for the music segment, it lacked famous musicians such as Ruben Rada, El Cuarteto de Nos, No Te Va Gustar, and many more! Disclaimer: I'm not Uruguayan, just a rioplatense Argie that has visited many times.
Lovely video, as an uruguayan i love when people from around the world talk in such high regard about us and our little corner of the world, it makes me feel like most of us are making things in the right way ¡Vamo' arriba Uruguay!
pretty much, but having that time bomb next to us has its economic consequences. the best thing that could happen to us is the "normalization" of argentina.
I learned more about Uruguay in just a few minutes with this awesome Geography Now video than i learned in all my school years in Brazil. Thank you G.N. for making geography so enchanting and comprehensible.
I’ve been there a couple of times over the last two years and can confidently say that I never had a cut of meet as good as the Veal asado that I tried over there. Bonus tip: Pair it with a glass of fine Tannat and you will have one of the best dinners you ever had
Actually we are not used to find houses/building/etc by property name. It is by street name / street number / bis (is a special term that some addresses have because street number was repeated) / apartment number In some tiny towns (called generically BALNEARIO) they use sometimes property name because there is no street number. So people from that place use street name and the 2 intersection street along property name
As an Argentine from Tucumán, I would say that mainly the Entre Rios and Buenos Aires provinces are just the same people as the Uruguayans. People from Entre Rios hold their hot water "termos" on the street when they drink the mate, just like in Uruguay
...sounds a lot like the borders got drawn a little too far south in the North and little too far north in the South of Uruguay. At least, as far as Mate-consuming habits go.
it´s very interesting how in Argentina there are provinces who share a lot of culture with their neighbours, Buenos Aires and Entre Rios with Uruguay, Mendoza and the Patagonia with Chile, Salta and Jujuy with Bolivia, Formosa and Corrientes with Paraguay, Misiones with Brazil and Paraguay as well, it´s crazy
Watching GN and seeing how entertaining and well made the episodes are, I can't help but feel sad that there are only a handful of countries left 💔. I hope GN will still be this enjoyable and educational even when they finish making episodes for all the countries. Maybe we'll see remakes of old episodes?
I agree completely! The early episodes are far shorter than the later ones, and the format has developed a lot since the beginning, so remaking them would pad them out and complete the information about each country.
Yeah I think we’ll definitely be seeing remakes soon but I think not until Barby is done with the unrecognized countries first, because from what I remember that’s what he’s gonna do once he done’s with all the UN countries, it’s crazy though how we’re so close to the end now indeed.
The guy laughing when talking about winning against Argentina and Brasil is SO HILARIOUSLY ACCURATE OMG. Thank you so much for the recognition, this video is prolly the best ever done by a foreigner about our country. Thanks so much!!
Brazilian here, I'm fascinated by Uruguayan culture as we're not often taught about much of it in popular culture, and I absolutely love everything I learn. Already planning my trip!
I know, but it's incredible. The Pascualina (Torta Pasqualina in italian). it's very important dish during the holy week. Even the Farinata it's a tipical here. One day i hope to enjoing the uruguayan's meal.
@joaquinpampliega5722 Wow, Ravioli and Gnocchi, i love it!! The Milanesa i think it's a variation of veal alla Milanese. Of course, it's from Milan 😃. So many thinks Share by both country. I love it.
As an argentinian i would say that uruguay is all the good things that Argentina is without a lot of the bad things that argentina has. I love uruguay, i´ve been there 4 different times, it just feels like being in my country but with more educated people and better economy hahaha
@@LogicReel Argentina isn't poor man. Just checked. You know witch countries are poor? Central American and African. Also here in central Europe people don't know hoe they will buy something to eat... Slovenia is becoming poor...
I casually watch videos on this channel before, but now I kinda like interested to know more about Uruguay because I just recently saw the movie "Society of the Snow" and "Alive". Hello there to our fellow brothers from Uruguay. Greetings from Las Islas Filipinas 🇵🇭
Brazilian here! I was recently in Uruguay and the country is exactly that. I showered praise on all the Uruguayans I met. Everything works well in the country, it doesn't even feel like you're in Latin America. However, the cost of living is very high, I spent a lot of money while I was there. I intend to return soon!
fun fact: the team jersey the food guy was wearing was from the club of pinarol which is one of the top flight clubs in uruguay right now and is currently 4th in the uruguayan primera division.
Yeah. The biggest and most popular club on the entire country. Closely followed by their bitter rivals Nacional. And when I say close I mean you couldn't slip a needle in between the space that separate them. Its scary how close they are.

I actually have family in Uruguay. When my Great Grandfather came to the US from Russia in 1900's there was a quota so only he and his sister could come here. His youngest brother ended up going to Uruguay and that branch of my family is still there. I have never met any of them though. One day I hope to go
There is a small town founded by Russian immigrants called San Javier. There isn't really much to see but they've got this large Matryoshka dolls sculpture on a park and they have a Russian food festival every now and then.
I think it was founded by Old Believers or some other persecuted religious minority. If that matches your great grandfather's history, then chances are that his brother came to that town although the rest of the family might have moved elsewhere later on. Otherwise, it's more likely that they came to Montevideo or the nearby towns in Canelones.
You should definetely come! I am from Uruguay but my grandparents are German and Polish!

Uruguayan here, great video! One tiny correction, though: "Lago Mirim" is actually not a lake, but a lagoon, so it should be referred as "laguna" in spanish and as "lagoa" in portuguese. Also, "Mirim" is the portuguese name, whereas "Merín" is the spanish one. In short, us Uruguayans call it "Laguna Merín" and Brazil calls it "Lagoa Mirim".
The terminal M in Portuguese is usually pronounced like "ng" in English, right? So don't Brazilians pronounce it like "mee-REENG"?
And it was originally all Brazilian but Brazil gifted half of it to Uruguay in 1909
@@andyjay729hello, words that finish in "m" we say them with "m", mirim we say mirim. I don't think that are any words in Portuguese finishing with "ng"
@@ELM. I meant, do you pronounce them like the "ng" sound in English?

23:01 I was waiting the whole video for you to talk about the Andes flight disaster and the way y'all put it you make it seem like it wasn't an *actual real* event, like it was just a movie.
Hugs to all Uruguayans from Costa Rica. Two of the most stable democracies in the region, which invested highly on a welfare state and strong institutions, championing many human rights and with a clean energy network. When Uruguay was in the times of the right wing dictatorships, a lot of Uruguayan scenic artists and other intellectuals managed to escape the repression and they established themselves here, further enriching our cultural scene in the 70s and 80s (together with others from Argentina, Chile, etc., plus Costa Rican artists and intellectuals).
Costa Rica is currently suffering the strong consequences of decades with an increase of inequality (with an explosion of criminality), unresolved urban and especially rural poverty and the effects of the pandemic on our economy and educational system, but let's be hopeful that things get back to a more peaceful state.
We in Costa Rica never forget that is was Julio María Sanguinetti, the first Uruguayan president after the right wing dictatorship and a great statesman by himself, who said "Wherever there is a Costa Rican, there is freedom". So, hope the best to our brothers and sisters from the Southern Cone.
Regarding the video, it is awesome. I just missed the mention and the writers Juan Carlos Onetti and Mario Benedetti (an amazing poet), any of which could have gotten the Literature Nobel Prize, as well as the excelent poet Juana de Ibarbourou.

Uruguay is probably one of the least talked about countries in the world, which is a shame because it has so much going for it! The country's geography is beautiful and it's people are wonderful! Plus, I love Uruguayan history, I've studied a lot of it back in 2018. Uruguay also has one of the best national flags in the world!
Maybe i'm ignorant, but is the geography really that beautiful? It's all or mostly flat
@@idk-ye7ur As an Uruguaian (and apologizing for my english) most of the country is hills and pasture land, filled with rivers and creeks mosly, but there are some really beautyfull places here and there. it isn´t as stunning as Argentina perhaps (they have a lot of variety and is really striking in places as cordoba or near the Andes) but it is beautyfull indeed. places like Piriapolis, Las sierras de Minas, etc. really pretty places . another cool thing is that mostly everything is whitin driving distance so is pretty easy to get a bus or drive in the spur of the moment.
of course im a local and by no means imparcial, have a nice day!!
@@idk-ye7ur Uruguay it's the top 1 beach destination for argentinians since their coast is really different, uruguayan beaches are like the south of Brazil. On the other hand, all argentinian millionaires are having their summer houses in Uruguay, mostly in Punta de Este city (it has been referred to as "the Monaco of the South", "The Pearl of the Atlantic", "the Hamptons of South America","the Miami Beach of South America", or "the St. Tropez of South America")
We also have a kick-ass national anthem. We hear it and are ready to start kicking ass and talking names 😜 Some even argue that's the reason we're so competitive.
The key is that most of the country is pristine. It's also their signature marketing campaign for tourism, Uruguay Natural.@@idk-ye7ur
As a football fan, I always loved Uruguay for no valid reason at all, only thanks to how they play football. Glad to see my unfounded feelings be substantiated massively. Really hope I get to visit one day

Officially it is a mix between the American flag and the Argentinian one.
🇺🇾❤🇬🇷 = Only Brothers flags
Good video. As an Uruguayan, I am going to clarify a few things:
- The majority indigenous people were the Guarani, there is a myth regarding the Charrúas, which is highly politicized, so I am not going to go into details. Guarani was spoken until the late sxx or early sxx, in the north of the country.
- There have been bigger conflicts with Argentina besides this one mentioned. In the middle of the last century, there was a boundary conflict between President Batlle Berres and Argentine President Perón. And in the 19th century, a conflict with Juan Manuel de Rosas, in which Uruguay was divided into two governments and capitals, between the white and red factions.
- Uruguay did not give residence to the Nazis. Those who arrived in Uruguay, like Merkele, were not yet known or wanted. They escaped from Uruguay when they began to be wanted, because in Uruguay they were not going to have government support. Thus, many escaped to Brazil and Argentina.
- The Batlle Berres government was contrary and spoke badly of the Perón government, which did give asylum to former Nazi combatants. For this reason and others, Batlle Berres himself considered that the movement known as "Peronism" was synonymous with "fascism."
-Uruguay has one of the oldest political party systems in the world, since the Blanco and Colorado parties date from 1836. Even older than the American bipartidism. The Frente Amplio, a "new" party, is more than 50 years old. Uruguayan culture is bipartisan.
- Beyond the War with Paraguay, which Uruguayans usually consider a black part of history, there were never bad relations with Paraguay.
As a peruvian, we are close to Uruguay and believe them to be our brothers as well as the argentinians. We know that they can hold their ground and even though they have a small population they are titans in the region. They are of course welcome to Peru and we feel welcomed in Uruguay always.

Yo también son profesor , aquí en en Uruguay . Gracias por enseñarle a tus alumnos de nuestro país. Saludos cordiales.
In Romania, when we try to say that we understand what you're telling, we say "aaah, da" and also to "stop bothering me" or "yeah, like what you say" we say "da da da da da da", which is pretty close to "ta". In Romanian "da" means "yes".
"Ta" can also mean "ok" by itself, so it's pretty common to hear someone answer with a simple "Ta".
Also bo reminds me of bă in romanian haha
In Chilean Spanish, we sometimes say "Ya. Está" to mean something like "Ok, it's a done deal", "Ok, so be it", "Ok, I get it," and/or "Alright, alright - Settle down". Maybe the Uruguayan Ta has the same 'está' origin? 🤔🤔
We also use "da"!
Here "da" is a diminutive of "dale" that translates to "okey/alright".
So when we want to confirm something we usually say:
"Ah, da da!"

Greetings from a Macedonian to Uruguay! 🇲🇰❤🇺🇾
🇺🇾🇬🇷 In addition to the flag being very similar, I learnt that Uruguay and Greece share the same "slogan": Freedom or Death. And the Greek flag, like the Uruguayan, does not have a defined shade of blue. So the color has varied over time, being a lighter or darker blue, often depending on the political side. In addition, the Uruguayan sun is very similar to some representations of the sun, in Greek culture, and other flags and symbols in the culture of the countries of the Mediterranean region. They are very interesting coincidences. The Greek flag always caught our attention as Uruguayans at school, because the question always arises as to which country has that similar flag.
Wow!!!Uruguay is one of my favourite respective countries,like Argentina,Brazil and rest of the remaining respective countries in America and I do wish to visit there in future,good friends!!!LONG LIVE URUGUAY 🇺🇾!!!🙏🏻

It's true Uruguay is not often talked about, but at least in the rest of South America, when we talk about her it's to say how proud we are of all Uruguayans have achieved (in sports, literature, architecture, democracy, economic stability...) and how much we other South-Americans (openly or secretly) envy them.

If latin american countries are like brothers, Argentina and Uruguay are identical twins. But argentina was born 5 minutes earlier so it pretends to be the big brother. A lot of people compare the Canada-USA or the Austria-Germany relationship to Argentina and Uruguay, but I think even that falls short. Being from Buenos Aires (province, not city) I feel more at home in Montevideo than I feel in the northern parts of Argentina, or even in parts of my own province. It is truly amazing to have such a similar country there, always supporting each other, even if we sometimes bicker like brothers do.
Stop comparing us Americans to the poorhouses of Canada, Argentina, and Uruguay. America is a flourishing democracy. Argentina, Canada, and Uruguay are failed state dictatorships.
I find your point quite accurate, I've heard that type of refference in my life while living here in Montevideo from nationals and tourists or neighrbour countries, it is so deep the historical ties between the two nations that some of us need a very trained ear to note the difference haha! anyways Saludos! and I agree with your posture.

technically speaking, Buenos Aires constructed the port of Montevideo before it became even a city... Uruguay was a disputed land for quite a while, and they had political power in the region before it became a buffer state, so in some way, more than a big brother, they are more akin to a father
I waited SO MANY YEARS and finally have the Geography Now video with my beautiful country! 🇺🇾 ❤️
thank you so much!
Love to see you inching closer to the end. You've come a long way barbs. keep up the work.
Fun fact: Argentina and Uruguay's only land border is on two islands that fused together in the 80s! Arg's Martin García island and Uy's Timoteo Domínguez island.
Another fun fact: I love chivitos, but my favourite variation of it, the chivito canadiense, has a very misleading name as it's neither goat (chivo/chivito) nor Canadian.
Also, a correction: Isla de Lobos doesn't translate to "Wolves Island" but "Fur Seal/Sea Lion Island", as these animals are called Lobos Marinos ("Sea Wolves") in Spanish!
And, for the music segment, it lacked famous musicians such as Ruben Rada, El Cuarteto de Nos, No Te Va Gustar, and many more!
Disclaimer: I'm not Uruguayan, just a rioplatense Argie that has visited many times.
The biggest joke about Uruguay is that while the rest of Latin America is on fire, Uruguay is in the corner minding its business smoking pot
100% accuratte 😂😂😂😂😂
Lovely video, as an uruguayan i love when people from around the world talk in such high regard about us and our little corner of the world, it makes me feel like most of us are making things in the right way ¡Vamo' arriba Uruguay!

Uruguay was always that Latin American country I knew about the existence of but didn't really research that much. Great video as always.
I've been told that the main difference between Argentina and Uruguay is that Uruguay's economy doesn't repeatedly implode due to idiotic policies.
pretty much, but having that time bomb next to us has its economic consequences. the best thing that could happen to us is the "normalization" of argentina.

I visited Uruguay (Colonia & Montevideo) when I went to Buenos Aires. Missed Rio de la Plata, but I'm very glad I went there.
If you were at Colonia, Montevideo, and Buenos Aires, the you saw the Rio de la Plata from both sides :D
I’ve been there a couple of times over the last two years and can confidently say that I never had a cut of meet as good as the Veal asado that I tried over there. Bonus tip: Pair it with a glass of fine Tannat and you will have one of the best dinners you ever had
Woo... this so interesting to know more about Uruguay. Greeting from san marino.❤️
Actually we are not used to find houses/building/etc by property name. It is by street name / street number / bis (is a special term that some addresses have because street number was repeated) / apartment number
In some tiny towns (called generically BALNEARIO) they use sometimes property name because there is no street number. So people from that place use street name and the 2 intersection street along property name
As an Argentine from Tucumán, I would say that mainly the Entre Rios and Buenos Aires provinces are just the same people as the Uruguayans. People from Entre Rios hold their hot water "termos" on the street when they drink the mate, just like in Uruguay
In Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, we do that to. We drink mate in the classroom, in the parks, everywhere...
Entre rios also shares a closer accent than BsAs with the Uruguay outside Montevideo with words loke Gurí or goyete.
@@Guarlaon I've been to Rio Grande do Sul plenty of times, I assure you we are really close (as an uruguayan)
...sounds a lot like the borders got drawn a little too far south in the North and little too far north in the South of Uruguay.
At least, as far as Mate-consuming habits go.
it´s very interesting how in Argentina there are provinces who share a lot of culture with their neighbours, Buenos Aires and Entre Rios with Uruguay, Mendoza and the Patagonia with Chile, Salta and Jujuy with Bolivia, Formosa and Corrientes with Paraguay, Misiones with Brazil and Paraguay as well, it´s crazy
Watching GN and seeing how entertaining and well made the episodes are, I can't help but feel sad that there are only a handful of countries left 💔. I hope GN will still be this enjoyable and educational even when they finish making episodes for all the countries. Maybe we'll see remakes of old episodes?
I agree completely! The early episodes are far shorter than the later ones, and the format has developed a lot since the beginning, so remaking them would pad them out and complete the information about each country.
Yeah I think we’ll definitely be seeing remakes soon but I think not until Barby is done with the unrecognized countries first, because from what I remember that’s what he’s gonna do once he done’s with all the UN countries, it’s crazy though how we’re so close to the end now indeed.

I casually watch videos on this channel before, but now I kinda like interested to know more about Uruguay because I just recently saw the movie "Society of the Snow" and "Alive". Hello there to our fellow brothers from Uruguay. Greetings from Las Islas Filipinas 🇵🇭
Uruguay es único . Tiene un encanto , muy particular
Love Uruguay 🇺🇾 from Algeria 🇩🇿
Love Algeria from Uruguay 🫶🇺🇾🧉🩵🫂👋
Brazilian here! I was recently in Uruguay and the country is exactly that. I showered praise on all the Uruguayans I met. Everything works well in the country, it doesn't even feel like you're in Latin America. However, the cost of living is very high, I spent a lot of money while I was there. I intend to return soon!
Lots of love to you and Brazil, María! ❤ You'll be welcome back...🫶
Yes! Uruguay is very expensive..
👋🧉
fun fact: the team jersey the food guy was wearing was from the club of pinarol which is one of the top flight clubs in uruguay right now and is currently 4th in the uruguayan primera division.
Yeah. The biggest and most popular club on the entire country. Closely followed by their bitter rivals Nacional. And when I say close I mean you couldn't slip a needle in between the space that separate them. Its scary how close they are.
Uruguay una gran nación, un verdadero ejemplo de como debe ser un país! ♥️🇺🇾
provincia rebelde de Argentina, saludos desde Colombia
Mmmm hace unos años nadie conocia de su existencia y su gente se iba a otros paises a estudiar 😂
@@ultraarg6615 Error. Estudiaban aca y se iban a trabajar a otros lados. De hecho sigue pasando. A Uruguay vinen muchos extranjeros a estudiar, la mayoria Brasileros y Argentinos, pero me ha tocado ver Chilenos, Colombianos, Venezolanos, Peruanos y hasta una Canadiense.
@@BurnRoddy eso es reciente en Argentina han llegado hasta 100 mil Uruguayos.

La capacidad del hambrentino medio para envidiar a todos los países latinoamericanos es aterradora 🇺🇾🇨🇷🇧🇷🇲🇽🇨🇱🇩🇴🇨🇴🇵🇪 >>>>>> 🇦🇷
A Brazilian here, I have always loved the Uruguayan culture and respect the country and population, happy to see more people talking about Uruguay :)
¡Gracias por hablar de nuestro Paisito! Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾😁
Naah no te puedo creer otro Uruguayo fan de Off
Yo se que lo decimos con aprecio....pero dejemos de decir paisito.....
@gonzalofernandez6038 Bo, no me copies el nombre y el apellido jsjsj
"Paisito" que en superficie es mas grande que la mitad del mundo (nos vemos "chicos" en Sudamerica) corten con esa pavada de "paisito" enserio...
Bro es hora de que ya digamos PAÍS y con mayúsculas.
I love our uruguayans neighbours. There is a pop rock band called El Cuarteto de Nos from Motivideo, they are so awesome! It is a must listen band from los charruas. Saludos desde Brasil.
Thank you so much for this Barbs and the rest of Geography now
