Line 19:
* ''Montevideo, or the new Troy'', by [[Alexandre Dumas]], deals with the civil war of the mid-1800s. It’s not the best source though, since Dumas was based on the recount of a man who twisted the facts to put an overtly negative view on Argentina and its president, Juan Manuel de Rosas.
* ''[[Open Veins of Latin America]]'', by Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano.
* ''[[The Three Caballeros (Disney)|The Three Caballeros]]'' has a short, ''The Flying Gauchito'', about [[A Boy and His X|a kid and his flying donkey]].
* ''[[XXY]]'', though filmed in Argentina, is set mainly in Uruguay.
* ''State of Siege'' by [[Z (Filmfilm)|Costa-]][[Missing (Filmfilm)|Gavras]]. Yeah, sure, it says it happens on an [[Banana Republic|unnamed South American country]], but it's based on a real event in Uruguay.
* In [[The Simpsons]]' episode "Bart Vs. Australia", Homer finds Uruguay on the globe. Of course, being Homer, he misreads it as "you are gay".
