The second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century were the era of the climax of global imperialism and the most brutal battle for hegemony in human history.
Different from the Cold War period in later generations, although this era also used the banner of civilization, it was actually full of barbaric social laws and the naked principle of law of the jungle. When diplomacy cannot get something, imperialist countries will not hesitate.
The use of weapons to achieve goals.
The Portuguese Empire was the first country to implement the policy of imperial colonial expansion and was an old-style imperialism.
However, after losing Brazil, this old colonial empire became a pseudo-imperialism supported by the might of the United Kingdom. Portugal was nominally an ally with the United Kingdom, but in fact it had been exploited. The collapse of the Rainbow Plan was a naked
proof of.
Fortunately, God bless Portugal. The former Braganza family restored Portugal's independence, and now Tangning Pedro of the Braganza family has replaced the weak Braganza-Saxe-Coburg-Gotha family and regained its independence.
Completed the integration of Brazil and Portugal, once again reviving the Portuguese Empire as a member of imperialism.
The new Portugal is an empire. Since it is an empire, it naturally has to do what imperialism should do.
The White Party of Uruguay was founded in 1835 by the founder M. Olibe. Because Olibe's army wore a blue ribbon on the edge of his hat as a symbol, which later faded and turned white, it is commonly known as the White Party. The White Party mainly represents agriculture and animal husbandry.
The interests of property owners and Catholic forces have long competed with the Uruguayan Red Party for power, but their influence is relatively small.
Since the Uruguay War, the Red Party has dominated the country for a long time. In order to resist the Red Party's rule, the White Party has launched armed riots many times. The most recent one was in 1904. The person who put down this civil unrest was Jose.
Bartlett-Ordonez.
José Pablo Torquato Batlle-Ordonez, the most outstanding modern Uruguayan politician, is known as the "Father of Modern Uruguay".
】
The Red Party led by José is the more liberal political party in Uruguay. During his term as president (acting president in 1899, 1903 to 1907, 1911 to 1915), he established a state monopoly on the power industry and nationalized the Bank of the Republic.
ation. He supported the implementation of educational reforms and the establishment of a social welfare system.
After his hard work, a new constitution was adopted in 1919. The constitution separated church and state, granted more powers to local governments and provided for the establishment of a committee to take over the non-political duties assumed by the president.
Jose Batlle-Ordonez was not the son of a common man. He was born into a Roman family and was the son of former President General Lorenzo Batlle. He studied at the University of Montevideo and the University of Paris. In June 1886
On the 16th, he founded the Daily News and began his political career. Soon after, he joined the Red Party, one of the two major political parties in Uruguay.
In 1890, José began working to transform his party into a nationwide democratic political organization. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1893 and to the Montevideo Senate in 1896. He later served as Senate President and member of the National Executive Committee of the Red Party.
In 1903, José Batlle-Ordonez was elected president with a slim majority. As a result, he clashed with the opposition White Party, triggering a civil war between the two parties in 1904. The Red Party won the Battle of Ordonez in 1905.
, firmly controlled the country. In the general election held in 1905, he and the Red Party won. When the presidential term expired in 1907, he voluntarily gave up his position. In 1911, Jose was re-elected as president.
Jose Batlle-Ordonez, during his two terms as president, he carried out labor reforms, restricted the profits of foreign companies, encouraged immigration, nationalized public works, abolished the death penalty, and protected children born out of wedlock. 2nd term
At the end of the term, in order to prevent one person from monopolizing power, he tried to establish a governing body and amend the constitution, but this aroused national opposition and even split his own party.
The new constitution adopted by Uruguay in 1918 stipulated the establishment of a dual administrative system of the President and the National Administrative Council. Batlle Ordonez served as Chairman of the National Administrative Council twice, in 1920 and 1926.
Under José Batlle-Ordoñez, Uruguay transformed from an unstable dictatorship into a dynamic democracy.
However, José Batlle-Ordonez is excellent, but Uruguay is a standard small country, so it can only be a lamb to be slaughtered in front of Portuguese imperialism.
On February 2, just as José Batlle-Ordonez was exercising diplomacy and uniting the people. On the afternoon of the 2nd, Maxi Santos, the leader of Uruguay’s Democratic White Party, appeared in Rio de Janeiro, a representative who spoke unashamedly.
The entire Uruguayan people demanded rejoining the Portuguese Empire.
Regarding the country of Uruguay, Tangning Pedro set his sights on him after regaining Brazil. After all, Uruguay was an important part of Brazilianism.
Unfortunately, after the civil strife in Uruguay in 1905, under the leadership of José Batlle-Ordonez, the national system was stable and there were no loopholes to exploit. It was difficult to directly intervene in Uruguayan politics.
However, as a later generation, Tangning Pedenin did not sigh because of missing the opportunity. He directly started a Millennium-style operation and began to win over the Uruguayan White Party, which was at the bottom of the valley.
Faced with Brazil's wooing, the top two figures in the White Party were very wary, because they clearly saw how Brazil eliminated Bolivia, Peru and other countries, and they decisively rejected Brazil's so-called friendly funding.
Although the top figure refused, the White Party's senior leadership was not monolithic. It was essentially a combination of interests. Soon the No. 3 figure, Vice Chairman Maxi Santos, of Italian descent, was infiltrated.
Maxi Santos was born in Rio Blanco, a border province in Cerro Largo, just across the river from Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. As an Italian, he clearly saw the impact of Italians in the new era.
The Brazilian Empire, and later the Portuguese Empire, became prosperous.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Within the Portuguese Empire, outstanding talents of Italian descent are active in various fields, which makes Maxi Santos, who lives in the small country of Uruguay, very envious.
The object of Maxi Santos' political admiration is Tony. When the White Party was attracted by Brazil, he decisively established a connection. Later, he also used this opportunity to get to know his idol Tony and gradually became friends.
Ever since the Brazilians came to visit, the leaders of the White Party have been very wary of Brazil. They soon discovered the strangeness of Vice Chairman Maxi Santos and unceremoniously reprimanded and prevented him from forming a pro-Portugal group within the White Party.
After being reprimanded, dismissed and lowered in status several times, Maxi Santos decisively broke with the White Party and announced the establishment of the Democratic White Party.
After the establishment of the Democratic White Party, Maxi Santos put forward many programs: supporting political peace, opposing violent dictatorship, restricting the expansion of private land, giving priority to the development of industrialization, and actively developing economic and trade with Portugal and Argentina...
After becoming an independent member of the White Party, Maxi Santos completely distanced himself from the White Party. He criticized the big landowners in newspapers for hindering the development of the country, denounced the selfishness of the White Party, and did not hesitate to initiate civil strife for his own interests. He also criticized the people who were governing the country.
Most of the policies of Serge Batlle Ordoñez were recognized and praised.
The split between the White Party and the Red Party was overjoyed. The White Party is a spokesman for farmers and pastoralists and Catholics. It is a standard Caudillo. In addition to safeguarding national unity, the White Party also opposes land reform, industrialization and excessive freedom.
Policies, etc., are the opposite of the Red Party.
Although the White Party has backward political concepts, it has huge influence in rural areas and some urban bottoms. Maxi Santos led a large number of White Party members to become independent, which dispersed the political power of the White Party.
What makes the Red Party even more delighted is that the split Democratic White Party has a political platform close to that of the Red Party, and its leader Maxi Santos has a positive attitude towards the current ruling government.
José Batlle Ordonez actively courted Maxi Santos' Democratic White Party, and soon after some political transactions, Maxi Santos became the Vice President of Uruguay with a distinguished status but little real power.
After becoming Vice President, Maxi Santos politically cooperated with the political policies of the Red Party, actively competed with the White Party for inland power, economically advocated the development of industry and commerce, and vigorously promoted economic and trade with Brazil and Argentina.
After several years of hard work, the North has become a solid political territory for Maxi Santos in several Brazilian provinces. The North has gained a lot of benefits from developing economic and trade with Brazil and is deeply tied to Brazil economically.
In terms of political management, in addition to wooing Italian-Uruguayans, Maxi Santos actively wooed the Gauchos in the inland grasslands. In the northern political territory, he gave the Gauchos a large number of job opportunities and worked hard to improve their low status.
social status.
Since their political cooperation, José Batlle-Ordonez and Maxi Santos have gotten along very well, each respecting their political turf and working together to develop the country's economy.
José Batlle-Ordonez was very fortunate to have a like-minded ally and respected Maxi Santos very much, but after Brazil declared Uruguay illegal, he was surprised to find that his good friend had openly treason.
Shamelessly rejoining the Portuguese Empire on behalf of all Uruguayans.
Vice-President Maxi Santos's decision to declare a state of affairs was undoubtedly a huge blow to Uruguayans. In the following ten days, Uruguayans suffered a huge mental blow.
Within ten days, Rocha, Ciudad Thirty-Three, Cerro Largo, Rivera, Tacuarombo, and Artigas in the north successively announced their joining the Portuguese Empire.
