Also, between a good chunk of Uruguayan/Cisplatina History, their biggest city was Sacramente, a portuguese speaking city. Probably their population was similar to Rio Grande do Sul's Colonial Pelotas with açorians, amerindians and blacks. Even today there is a big overlap between Pampas(Southern Rio Grande do Sul and Uruguay). Last, brazilians slavers ran away to the borders of the Empire looking for freedom, so we have Uruguay again.
If Cisplatina was brazilian, they would much probably like Rio Grande do Sul with 12 milion people and filled with european immigrants during the immigration Era. Monte Video could be a new Porto Alegre with its 4.6 milion people.
