Croats in Uruguay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Croatian Uruguayan is a Uruguayan citizen of full or partial Croatian ancestry.
The very first Croats reached the Río de la Plata region during the second half of the 18th century; the biggest inflow of immigrants was mostly during the first half of the 20th century.[1] They established their own institutions, such as the Croatian Home.[2]
