Argentina claims the islands as a legacy of the Spanish Viceroyalty. In fact, during the colonial era, the islands were administered from the Spanish South Atlantic naval station located here in Montevideo (which is why some people jokingly say the islands are more Uruguayan than Argentine)...

As a Uruguayan- and therefore , a very close neighbor of Argentina- I consider an Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands ( or Islas Malvinas , to us South Americans) absolutely unthinkable. All Argentines, regardless of their political views, believe the islands belong to them, because ever...

When I feel like sneezing and the sneeze "won't come out", I usually look at the sun or a very bright light to make it happen.

I add that the single population most similar to me, according to Euro K 15, is North Italian, but at a considerable distance (22.142614)

Thank you Tomenable for posting data from my country. These are my Euro K 15 results. I'm taking this opportunity to ask you and the other forum members a question. A few days ago, I entered my G25 coordinates into Chat GPT , and the response I received surprised me. Knowing for some time that I...

It is so sad to see how a country that rebuilt itself from the disasters of war is ruined by political mistakes. What were they thinking? That depending on gas supplied by a dictatorial regime with threatening military power was a good idea?

I completely agree with you, Duarte. In a way, it reminds me of things that happened during the Spanish viceroyalty in the 18th century. The current Argentine province of Mendoza has a climate similar to the Mediterranean region, and because of this, grapevines and olive trees began to be...

As a resident of another Mercosur member country, Uruguay, I have a slightly different view than Duarte's. Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world, ranks among the top 10 economies, and has 200 million inhabitants. It is a continent unto itself, self-centered (almost like the US), and...

I agree with you, Duarte. Although Uruguay and Argentina have predominantly European origins, our people look different from those in southern Brazil. We have features more typical of southern Europe.

I believe that knowing you belong to the richest and most powerful country in the world almost inevitably leads to a feeling of superiority. And therefore, little interest in what is outside. I can understand it in ordinary people, but I don't understand it in people with higher education.I...

While the Portuguese component is the oldest and most widespread, millions of Europeans of other origins settled in Brazil. This is most noticeable in the southern states, those closest to my country, Uruguay. In Santa Catarina, for example, the German presence is striking. I once went to the...

I seem to see common points with the Spanish and Portuguese colonization in Latin America, where populations with little or no European genetic contribution adopted the language and customs of the Iberians. And I also seem to remember that you published a long time ago a testimony from...

These countries are so isolated from the rest of South America, both culturally and physically, that to us they seem like they're on another continent...
