Question

A leader of this party promised to “reconcile capital with the worker” and “take a pause” from reform in a speech called the “alto de Viera.” A leader of this party first proposed the colegiado (“cole”-eh-hee-AH-do) system of government, and put down a rebellion by Aparicio Saravia. That astoundingly successful leader of this party established the first welfare state and first divorce (15[1])law in Latin America. (15[1])This party, once led by Jose Batlle (BAT-zhay), controlled a capital (15[1])city that was besieged by Manuel Oribe for nine years during a civil war called the “Guerra Grande.” (10[1])(*) Fructuoso Rivera founded this party, which received its name from the color (10[1])of its supporters’ armbands. For 10 points, name this Uruguayan political party opposed by the “Blancos.” (10[1])■END■
