Revolution of the Lances

The Revolution of the Lances ("Revolución de las Lanzas") occurred in Uruguay from September 12, 1870 to April 6, 1872.

Parties to the conflict

Led by Timoteo Aparicio, leader of the National Party of Uruguay (the Blancos) and a former army officer, it was named after the "tacuara", an improvised weapon used by South American militias, consisting of a knife tied to a stalk of sugarcane, resulting in a rudimentary lance. It ended with a power-sharing agreement between the Blanco and Colorado Parties.
