AUSTRALIA & URUGUAY
The first migrants from Uruguay arrived in Australia during the 1960s, when Uruguay was experiencing a period of economic deterioration and increasing political instability. After the military seized power in 1973, an estimated 400,000 people fled Uruguay, some of whom eventually settled in Australia.
