Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Platine War, also known as the War against Oribe and Rosas (August 18, 1851 - February 3, 1852) was fought between the Argentine Confederation and an alliance of the Empire of Brazil, Uruguay and the Argentine provinces of Entre Ríos and Corrientes. The war was part of a long-running contest between Argentina and Brazil for influence over Uruguay and Paraguay and hegemony of the region of the Río de la Plata (River Plate). The conflict took place in Uruguay, over the Río de la Plata and in the northeast of Argentina. Don Juan Manuel de Rosas was elected governor of Buenos Aires after the brief period of anarchy that followed the end of the Argentina-Brazil War in 1828. In theory, Rosas had as much power as the governor of any other Argentine province, but in reality he ruled over all Argentina, or the Argentine Confederation as the country was then known.
