=Tupamaros=

Uruguay's National Liberation Movement, or Tuparamos, was a result of political instability. The movement lasted from about 1967 to 1972. Tupamaros was a guerilla movement that included kidnapping, assassination, and bank robbery. Marxist and nationalist ideals were also promoted. The Colorados remained in control of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies during this time. The Tupamaros returned to violence after March 1972 following the election of Juan María Bordaberry Arocena. At this point, the military began taking a larger role in the government and by 1973 the Tupamaros had ended (nationsencyclopedia).
