1684 CE to 1827 CE

New settlements are established in the region of present Uruguay throughout the eighteenth century to consolidate the occupation of the territory, which constitutes a natural buffer region separating Spanish from Portuguese possessions.

The Spanish, to combat smuggling, protect ranchers, and contain the natives, form a rural patrol force called the Blandengues Corps.
