Spain recognized Uruguay as an independent state in 1845, supporting Manuel Oribe in the Uruguayan Civil War. A legation was established in Montevideo, arriving the first diplomats, led by Carlos Creus y Camps, consul general and chargé d'affaires, on 20 October 1845.[2] The first peace and friendship treaty was signed in 1870 and, in 1953, the legation in the Uruguayan capital was elevated to the rank of Embassy.[3]
