The Great Siege of Montevideo (Spanish: Sitio Grande or Sitio de Montevideo) was the siege suffered by the city of Montevideo between 1843 and 1851 during the Uruguayan Civil War.[1]
In the practice, this siege meant that Uruguay had two parallel governments:
- Gobierno de la Defensa in Montevideo, led by Joaquín Suárez (1843–1852)
- Gobierno del Cerrito (with headquarters at the present neighbourhood Cerrito de la Victoria), ruling the rest of the country, led by Manuel Oribe (1843–1851)
This siege inspired a book by French writer Alexandre Dumas père, The New Troy (1850).
