During World War II, Uruguay maintained a neutral stance, refraining from direct involvement in the conflict. Despite its geographic distance from the main theaters of war, Uruguay was not immune to its effects. The war had significant repercussions on the country's economy and society.
Uruguay experienced economic challenges due to disruptions in global trade and fluctuations in commodity prices. The conflict also sparked political tensions domestically, with debates over the nation's neutrality and its implications. There were instances of political polarization, reflecting broader international divisions. Despite its neutral stance, Uruguay provided some support to the Allies through diplomatic channels and by contributing resources such as food and raw materials. Additionally, the country served as a refuge for European immigrants fleeing persecution, particularly Jewish refugees.
Uruguay's involvement in World War II primarily revolved around maintaining its sovereignty and stability amidst the global turmoil. After the war, Uruguay played a role in the establishment of international organizations like the United Nations, contributing to efforts to prevent future conflicts and promote global cooperation.
