In 1516 a Spaniard named Juan DÃaz de SolÃs became the first European to reach Uruguay. In the 16th century, the Spanish took Argentina while Portugal took Brazil. What is now Uruguay was between them but its lack of mineral wealth meant that for a long time both nations took little interest in it. However in 1726 the Spanish took Uruguay founded Montevideo. In 1776 Uruguay became part of the vie-royalty of La Plata. In 1811 the people of Uruguay rebelled against Spanish rule led by José Gervasio Artigas. However, in 1821 Brazil annexed Uruguay.

When it finally obtained recognition from both Argentina and Brazil as an independent country, the new republic of Uruguay adopted a definitive national flag on December 16, 1828. Designed by JoaquÃn Suárez, it effectively combined a symbol of Argentina with the flag pattern of the United States: on a white background were nine blue horizontal stripes for the nine original departments of the republic.
