Rivera's Rebellion Against Oribe
- When
- 16 July 1836
- Where
- Uruguay
After Oribe removed him from command in January 1836, Fructuoso Rivera rebelled against the president on July 16, 1836, deepening the political conflict.
Oribe pursued his own policies and in January 1836 removed Rivera from the command of the Army, also giving amnesty to his old comrade Lavalleja. On July 16, 1836, Rivera rebelled against Oribe. The military distinction marks arising from this struggle quickly produced the conservative Blancos and liberal Colorados, though armed conflicts in the region had begun as early as 1832.
