Abstract

It would be difficult to over-emphasise the importance of Britain’s commercial and financial relationships with Uruguay as a formative influence on the economic structure of the country. Few other nations were absorbed so completely into Britain’s informal empire in the nineteenth century. Indeed, it was British mediation at a critical stage in relations between Brazil and Argentina which promoted independence for Uruguay in 1828. Although Britain intervened no further in protecting Uruguay from the attentions of her two neighbours,1 as late as 1885 Palgrave, British Minister in Montevideo, assured the Uruguayan government of ‘effective support’ (apoyo efectivo) in relations with Brazil and Argentina: and in 1911 the Foreign Office moved hastily to assure the Uruguayans that nothing more than ‘good offices’ had been offered.2
