Even more interesting, Uruguay once had a president who looked like Elvis and he hated a political opponent so much he challenged him to a duel with pistols, which actually happened, but both of them were thankfully terrible shooters so no one died.

Yes, I didn't notice the title of the post at first. Yes I did go look up who the president was and fell into a rabbit hole with several other presidents and started reading about the Colorado Party. No I don't have the time for this. I have to be at work in an hour and just wasted 20 minutes reading about Uruguayan politics Dx
We should bring back duels with paintball guns.
Duels were legal here for a lot more than they should. There is a lot of stories with politicians fighting duels or trying to.
You're from Uruguay? Honestly, I know almost nothing about this country other than they have a very, very cool flag and that the land is placed in South America 🫣 the fact that there's a long history of politicians dueling is kinda metal/nutty ngl. Makes me want to delve a bit deeper into Uruguayan culture and history. There has to be some hidden gem stories in there.
Hey, I'm! There is a lot of political stories, like our civil war and both leaders, our origin as a nation (basically englad forced Barzil and Argentina on an agreement because was convinient for them) and a lot more. I have to say that I don't really like our flag tht much lol, I like the sun on it tho. If you would like some stories I can try to do a summary.
Yes, because if we wait to Google that, we will forget!
Googled it before reading the title
