Monarchism in Uruguay

General Francisco Javier de Elío, self-proclaimed last viceroy of the Río de la Plata.

Monarchism in Uruguay is a loosely organized historical political movement advocating for the restoration, preservation or creation of a monarchical regime in Uruguay.

Uruguayan monarchism was born after the May Revolution, and has been historically defended by different ideologies and political trends such as reactionary royalism or liberal conservatism. Most of them focused on the preservation of order and the rejection of revolution or social unrest. Seeing the monarchy as a powerful institution to oppose "anarchy" and social upheaval, the movement was prevalent among both aristocratic and popular classes of early Uruguayan society.[1]
