War

Platine Wars

time period in Brazilian historiography

The Platine Wars is a term used by Brazilian historiography to refer to a series of diplomatic and military conflicts along the 19th century between the Empire of Brazil and neighbouring countries in the Río de la Plata Basin.

These conflicts began in 1816, due to the intention of Prince Regent John of annexing the Banda Oriental (modern-day Uruguay) and pushing the Brazilian border to the left bank of the River Plate estuary.

The most notable wars in this period include:

Portuguese invasion of the Banda Oriental - 1811–1812

Luso-Brazilian conquest of the Banda Oriental - 1816–1820

Cisplatine War - 1825–1828

Uruguayan Civil War - 1839–1851

Platine War - 1851–1852

Uruguayan War - 1864–1865

Paraguayan War - 1864–1870
