1804 CE to 1815 CE

Britain, at war with Spain, invades the Rio de la Plata Estuary in late 1806 to avenge Spain's recapture of Buenos Aires from the British.

The ten thousand-member British force captures Montevideo in early 1807 and occupies it until July, when it leaves and moves against Buenos Aires, where it is soundly defeated.
