Manuel Oribe

Manuel Ceferino Oribe y Viana ( born August 26, 1790 in Montevideo, † November 12, 1857 ) was a Uruguayan politician.

Oribe was born as the son of Francisco Oribe and Francisca Viana. He was attributable to the stock of the landowner. As of October 9, 1833, he held the position of defense minister of Uruguay to March 4, 1835. After he had won the election proper, he was from March 1, 1835 to October 24, 1838 for the second president of Uruguay as a successor to his trading bourgeoisie representing an opponent José Fructuoso Rivera. This fell and drove him in 1838 with his troops to Argentina after Oribe had accused him of serious legal violations. Both were in the period following the protagonists of the developing civil war. Oribe was the founder of the Partido Blanco (now Partido Nacional). He supported the Argentine dictator Juan Manuel de Rosas, who for over ten years in the extending civil war helped him against the Colorado.
