Immigration to Uruguay started with the arrival of Spanish settlers during the Colonial Period to what was then known as ''Banda Oriental''.〔 〕 ==Overview== Uruguay is a multiethnic nation formed by the combination of different groups over five centuries. Amerindians inhabited Uruguayan territory for several millennia before Spanish Conquest in the 16th century. Spaniards and Africans arrived in important numbers under colonial rule. Many people of European background mixed with the Amerindians.〔 Beginning in the second half of the 19th century, there has been a gradual European immigration from several countries, which had its peak between 1870 and 1920; back then, Villa del Cerro neighbourhood in Montevideo was characteristically populated by immigrants.〔 〕 In April 1831, government troops massacred most of the amerindian population under the command of General Fructuoso Rivera, this is remembered as the Matanza del Salsipuedes 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Immigration to Uruguay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
