====Spanish Uruguayans==== | |||
*Between the 15th and early 19th centuries, the Spanish Empire was the sole colonial power in the Banda Oriental (now Uruguay). Thus, before 1811, a great part of the European settlers in Uruguay were from Spain, and they carried the Spanish colonial administration, including religious affairs, government and commercial business. A substantial '''Spanish-descended Criollo population''' gradually built up in the new cities, while some mixed with the indigenous populations '''(mestizos)''', with the Black slave population '''(mulattoes)''' or with other European immigrants. | |||
*The Spanish immigrants arriving between 18th and 20th century have different origins, but a significant number of them are from '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Uruguayans#Canary_Islands the Canary Islands], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Uruguayans#Catalonia Catalonia], Galicia and the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Uruguayans#Basque_Country Basque Country].''' | |||
====Italian Uruguayans==== | |||
*It is estimated that more than '''one third of Uruguayans are of Italian descent'''. Outside of Italy, Uruguay has one of the highest percentages of Italians in the world. | |||
*The first Italians arrived in Spanish and Portuguese colonies of South America in the 16th century. In what is now Uruguay, the first Italians were primarily from the '''Republic of Genoa''' and worked in the business and commerce related to the transoceanic shipping between "old and new world". | |||
*The Italian population continued to grow into the 19th century. and when the constitution of Uruguay was adopted '''in 1830, there were thousands of Italian-Uruguayans, mostly in the capital, Montevideo.''' | |||
*Immigrants from other areas of Italy followed with Lombardi exiles, craftsmen, farmers, the followers of Garibaldi, Southern Italians of various trades and even those active in many other ways, including a minority of adventurers. | |||
*From 1875 to 1890, Italians were the largest part of a wave of immigration to Uruguay from Spain and Italy. That continued in the 20th century until the early 1960s, but was followed by a sharp reduction, coinciding with economic and political upheavals in both Uruguay and Italy. Then, Italian immigration continued to decline because of greater attraction exerted by Argentina, Brazil and the United States. By the end of the 20th century, the trend finally began to run out. | |||
*The first Italian immigrants who arrived in the land were almost all of '''Genoese, Piedmontese, Neapolitan, Sicilian and Venetian origin'''.<ref>"Italian Uruguayans", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Uruguayans, accessed 4 June 2021.</ref> | |||
====French Uruguayans==== | |||
*French Uruguayans form the third largest ancestry group after Spanish Uruguayans and Italian Uruguayans. Until 1853, France constituted the main source of immigrants to Uruguay. | |||
*During the first half of the 19th century, Uruguay received most of French immigrants to South America. It constituted back then, the second receptor of French immigrants in the New World after the United States. 13,922 Frenchmen, most of them from the '''Basque Country, Béarn, and Bigorre''', left for Uruguay between 1833 and 1842. | |||
*Frenchmen made up 41.5% of immigrants to Uruguay between 1835 and 1842, representing the main source of immigration to the country. Until 1853, '''French Basques''' constituted the most numerous group among all immigrants in Uruguay. | |||
*Another great wave of French immigration to Uruguay occurred during the Paraguayan War until the 1870s. 2,718 French immigrants settled in the country between 1866 and 1867, 10.1% of the immigration at the time.<ref>"French Uruguayans", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Uruguayans, accessed 4 June 2021.</ref> | |||
