      Dispite their similar names, flags and being somewhat small countries that used to be part of Austria-Hungary, they're completely different.

      Yeap, It's because he was the mediator between Argentina and Paraguay, in a confused landmark affair. Argentina pretended to annex Paraguayan Chaco, the western side of the cuontry; but such problem was submmited to an international tryal were the judge was Mr. Rutteford Hayes; who failed in favour of Paraguay, over the basis of papers that gave the ownership to Paraguay. So that is why Mr. Hayes is one of our Hero. And the greatest portion of Chaco was maned Hayes

    Having lived in both countries, I can confirm that this is nearly all accurate, although the pronunciation made me wince approximately 47 times. President Hayes didn't arbitrate the territorial dispute over the Chaco until 1878, eight years after the end of the Triple Alliance War, but he is absolutely a national hero in Paraguay and far better remembered there than in his own country. Religion is far more prevalent in Paraguay; most Uruguayans take pride in being a secular nation and don't maintain religious ties. There is a much broader variety of cuisine available in Paraguay, since they have their own traditional foods (comidas típicas such as mbeju, chipa, sopa paraguaya, etc) as well as more Asian and other ethnic options. There is good food in Uruguay too, but about 80% of it is steak, pizza, and pasta. Despite being landlocked, Paraguayans also eat more fish than Uruguayans, oddly enough. But I think one of the most notable differences is the friendliness of the people. Uruguayans are typically polite but reserved, and less likely to branch out by making a friend outside of their established circle of family and close friends. However, Paraguayans are among the most welcoming and hospitable people I have ever encountered anywhere. Especially if you are outside of the capital, it's not uncommon to strike up a conversation with a local and be invited over for merienda (late afternoon snack) or a meal.

      True, but the usual translation of the official name Oriental Republic of Uruguay doesn't really do a good job of indicating that the republic is 'east' of the river ‘called’ Uruguay, the name in Spanish isn't trying to be artsy, it is being literal.
      If you translate back the English name you get _República de Uruguay del Oriente_ “Eastern Republic of Uruguay” or “Republic of Uruguay of the East”, as if there was a _Western_ Republic of Uruguay out there.

It´s not like there are only 2 free universities, 15 faculties in the country are part of UDELAR which means University of the Republic, it covers all the country and it is by far the country's largest university, as well as the second largest public university in South America. It has a student body of 137,757 undergraduate students and 6,351 postgraduate students. It was founded on 18 July 1849 and it is an amazing place to study, I study there myself (I am Uruguayan). Almost nobody attends private education as public education is really good and inclusive.

    Fun fact: the Itaipú Dam was a joint venture built by Brazil and Paraguay. Both countries agreed to share 50% of the building and operation costs, and both countries get 50% of the energy the power plant generates. As you mentioned in the video, even with the agreement, Paraguay ends up with over 5x the energy they need, which they sell back to Brazil because, with its >200 million citizens, all that energy is still not enough to supply even half the country’s needs!

      Mr. Beat Even now, Uruguay punches way above their weight and produces numerous superstars like Luis Suarez.

      2010 World Cup Semifinalist
      2011 COPA America Champions
      2014 World Cup Round of 16
      2018 World Cup Quarterfinals
      2019 COPA America Quarterfinals (lost to Peru in a shootout who eventually made the Final)
      For Paraguay ⚽️ , the 2010s weren’t kind to them. Other then the 2010 World Cup Quarterfinals, Paraguay weren’t very good in the last decade:
      Remember, they’re 10 nations in the South American Qualifying.
      2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifying: Finished Dead Last in South America Qualifying with only 3 wins out of 16 games.
      2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifying: Finished 7th in Qualifying. However, they were just 2 PTS out of an international playoff spot.
      So maybe days are coming for Paraguay are coming up.

    @JP-ou6ss 4 ปีที่แล้ว +59

    I'm from Uruguay, great video! Just some small corrections. 1st of all, our national hero, Artigas, is more of a regional hero. He did not fight for Uruguay's independence, but for the "Liga de los Pueblos Libres" (League of Free Peoples), which was a proposed Confederation of the Provincia Oriental (current Uruguay, "Oriental Province"), and several argentinan provinces, with a capital that would NOT be Buenos Aires, which angered their elite and among other things (like his proposed redistribution of land) made the elites of Buenos Aires and Montevideo ally with the Portuguese to oppose Artigas, who was defeated and fled to Paraguay in 1820. So he never supported the idea of an independent uruguayan state. Neither did the 33 orientals, the plan was joining the United Provinces, our independence came as a result of British mediation with Argentina and Brazil. 2nd of all, our poverty data yeah is closer to 9%, but several independent economists and journalists here estimate it's much higher than that, because the way we measure our poverty is very heavily "income based" and doesn't factor in access to education, housing, unemployment (another one that's poorly measured), etc. And 3rd, about Paraguay, Francia was a "dictator" in the Roman sense, basically a leader that exercises power in a time of emergency; not like we use the term today for a leader who turns their back on the Constitution and governs arbitrarily. Sorry if it got too long, it was a great video, but as it's not that common that someone from abroad makes a video about us I got excited! Cheers!
    P.S.: Oh and one more thing, we got involved in the Guerra de la Triple Alianza (The Paraguayan War) because there was a coup d'etat. Our nationalist "blanco" President Berro was allied with Paraguay, which neither Brazil, Argentina nor Britain liked, so the liberal "colorados" led by military leader ("caudillo") Venancio Flores helped mostly by the Brazilians led an armed takeover of the government to align us with the politics of the leading empire of the time and our bigger neighbors. The Partido Nacional (the nationalists) have Colonel Leandro Gomez, who led the defense of Paysandu, one of our bigger cities, against the traitors as one of their biggest heroes, and really his memory should be more recognized by the whole country. Sadly, party politics makes that difficult. For anyone who undestands Spanish there's a great folk song that talks about the Siege of Paysandu, it's called "Paysandu" by Tabare Etcheverry. And Flores' name should live in infamy in this country but sadly not a lot of people know of this or care. One of the biggest stains on our nation's history and a debt we'll never be able to repay Paraguay.

    This was a great video, and I'm from Uruguay, so consider this "Approved by Uruguayans" :P (go watch the "Tiranos Temblad" channel if you wanna know the reference). You don't mention it in the video, but it's really interesting (at least to me) that the word "Uruguay" doesn't have a clear origin, since, depending on the sources, it can mean several different things. Also, I know it's a really difficult thing for english speakers to pronounce, but the way you pronounced the word "charrúa" was... uh... peculiar, to say it tactfully lol But it's ok, the rest of the video was very good and it made me want to check out your other videos :)

    One correction about Paraguay: Nearly everyone also has access to abundant, clean drinking water, as the country sits on top of one of the world's largest aquifers. Even very rural farming communities, like the one I lived in, can easily sink wells to access potable water. (A notable exception being the urban poor, however.)

      @@tibodeclercq2131 it's more that argentinians have a "bad rep" of being arrogant, snobs, jerks, etc. (Of course it's not outright hatred for them) By most of the continent or of its neighbors. It's like in Great Britain with the reputation the english have with the Scots, Welsh and Irish. So despite Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay being the biggest countries for football here, argentina ends up everyone's biggest rival, also because of the cultural proximity, and, if you see in the Copa Libertadores tournaments, Argentinian teams dominate so Boca, River, Racing or others are usually the team to beat. But rivalries are not so much related to war but more to culture.
