| Additional information |
Uruguay's independence is conventionally dated to August 25, 1825, when the Congress of Florida formally declared separation from Brazil — though full international recognition took another three years, with the 1828 Convention of Montevideo brokering the outcome largely at British commercial insistence. The 2025 bicentenary falls on that 200-year mark from the congressional declaration rather than from any single treaty date, a distinction the Banco Central has navigated carefully in its commemorative program.
