Montevideo and Buenos Aires: sisters and rivals.

Montevideo and Buenos Aires: sisters and rivals. The history of the two capital cities of the Rio de la Plata, the scene of geopolitical disputes between Spain, Portugal, England, and France. European maritime powers and their interests in the ports on the world's widest estuary, which provides access to the continent through its rivers. Wars, invasions, conflicts, and cultural, political, and economic influence. In Montevideo's old city and its promenade, the wounds and scars of more than 300 years of existence in the far south of the world remain. Montevideo is the third southernmost capital city on the planet.
