    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.

          I wouldn’t mind a summary, my friend! 🤗 but only if you feel up for it! It might be a good jumping off point for a newbie like me to get into Uruguayan history!
