Manuel Oribe

Manuel Ceferino Oribe y Viana (born August 26, 1792 in Montevideo , † November 12, 1857 ibid) was a Uruguayan politician .

Life

Oribe was born to Francisco Oribe and Francisca Viana . He himself was assigned to the camp of the large landowners. From October 9, 1833 to March 4, 1835 he held the post of Defense Minister of Uruguay. After he had previously won the proper election, he was from March 1, 1835 to October 24, 1838 second president of Uruguay as the successor of his commercial bourgeois opponent José Fructuoso Rivera . He overthrew him and drove him with his troops to Argentina in 1838 after Oribe had accused him of serious violations of the law. In the following years, both became protagonists of the developing civil war. Oribe was the founder of the Partido Blanco (today Partido Nacional ).

He supported the Argentine dictator Juan Manuel de Rosas , who helped him in the nine-year civil war ("Guerra Grande") against the Colorados in Montevideo, since Oribe promised him to add Uruguay as the province of Argentina. With Argentine support, General Oribes's troops besieged Montevideo. Rivera was supported by the British, French and Brazilians, so the Argentine troops had to withdraw.
