History	Before European colonisation, the only documented population that inhabited present-day Uruguay was the Charrúas, a small tribe pushed south by the Guaraní of Paraguay. Their population did not exceed 5,000 to 10,000. The Spanish arrived in the territories of present-day Uruguay in 1516, but fierce resistance to the conquest from the local population, coupled with an apparent lack of gold and silver, severely limited settlement in the 16th and 17th centuries. Uruguay became an area of contention between the Spanish and Portuguese Empires; in 1603 the Spanish introduced cattle, the breeding of which became a very important source of economic wealth.
Typical dishes	Uruguayan cuisine is the result of a fusion of Spanish and Italian cuisine; in fact, the country's diet was influenced much more by the colonists than by the traditions of the Amerindians. Uruguayan cuisine is mainly characterised by the use of meat, mainly beef but also chicken, lamb, pork and fish.
