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 law in Latin America. This party, once led by Jose Batlle (BAT-zhay), controlled a capital city that was besieged by Manuel Oribe for nine years during a civil war called the “Guerra (15[1])Grande.” (*) Fructuoso (10[1])Rivera founded this party, which received its name from the color of its supporters’ armbands. For 10 points, name this (10[1])Uruguayan political party opposed by the “Blancos.” ■END■
