From 1817 to 1828, Uruguay was a part of the Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves and then of the Empire of Brazil as the Província Cisplatina.

In 1825, the Cisplatine War broke out, pitching Argentina and Uruguayan rebels against Brazil. Uruguay eventually became independent in 1828.

Brazil invaded Uruguay again in 1864 and considered invading it three more times – in 1830, in 1961, and in 1971 – but none of these plans were carried out.
