José Gervasio Artigas (June 19, 1764 - September 23, 1850) was a national hero of Uruguay and is sometimes called "the father of Uruguayan independence". This is an ironic turn of events, considering that during his life he never sought the absolute independence of Uruguay as a separate State, but the forging of a Federation of Provinces that would include his country, "the Eastern Province" as it was known at the time.
