Battle Of Cerrito
The Battle of Cerrito (outskirts of Montevideo, 31 December 1812), was a battle for the War of Independence of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, between the royalist forces who had control of the city of Montevideo and the rebel forces of the government of Buenos Aires. Context In the year 1811, the forces deployed by the Junta Grande of Buenos Aires and the gaucho forces led by José Artigas had started a siege to the city of Montevideo, which had refused to obey the directives of the new authorities after the May Revolution. The siege had been lifted at the end of that year, when the military situation started to deteriorate in the Upper Peru. The change of power in Buenos Aires to the Second Triumvirate, pushed by the change in the situation in the North front allowed them to restart the siege by October 1812 by the rebel forces, commanded by José Rondeau. There was a second army force by the Uruguay River under the command of Domingo French, besides Artigas's m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Second Banda Oriental Campaign
The Second Banda Oriental campaign was a military campaign of the Argentine War of Independence, that besieged and captured the ''Banda Oriental'' (present-day Uruguay) with joint operations against Montevideo by José Rondeau on land and William Brown on water. Background The first campaign against the Banda Oriental ended with a peace treaty negotiated between the First Triumvirate of Buenos Aires and Javier de Elío of Montevideo. Buenos Aires had a weak military outlook after the defeat of the Paraguay campaign and the First Upper Peru campaign. Elío feared that the reinforcements he requested from the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves would actually attempt to invade the Banda Oriental instead of reinforcing him. José Gervasio Artigas felt betrayed by the Triumvirate, and led his people out of the zone during the '' Oriental exodus''. The troops from Buenos Aires left as well, leaving Elío alone against the Portuguese. The Portuguese military left afte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
