Fascism in Uruguay

3 October 1935 issue of "La Mañana", reporting about 100 Uruguayan volunteers sent by the government to join the Italian invasion of Ethiopia.

Fascism has been historically present in Uruguay both in its classical form as in local variants.

Since Benito Mussolini's rise to power, the fascist government strived to influence foreign politics, particularly among the Italian migrant population in the Americas. Through various propaganda campaigns and the foundation of different institutions, the Italian government tried to sway Italian Uruguayans to the fascist ideology, eventually fostering the development of autochthonous fascist movements.^[1]^[2]
