1886 CE
The Uruguayan military is the center of power in the country between 1875 and 1886.
During this authoritarian period, the government has taken steps toward the organization of the country as a modern state, encouraging its economic and social transformation.
Pressure groups (consisting mainly of businessmen, landowners, and industrialists) have been organized and have a strong influence on government.
A transition period (1886–90) follows, during which politicians will begin recovering lost ground and some civilian participation in government will occur.
