Convênio Ferroviário entre Brasil e Uruguay

This transcription aims to share the 1913 railway trade agreement between Brazil and Uruguay. There have been several territorial disputes in the South Cone over the centuries, including the Treaty of Saint Ildefonso (17777), the Cisplatin War (1825-1828), and the Triple Alliance War (1864-1870), often referred to as the "War of Paraguay" in Brazil. The railway trade agreement, despite being a technical and regulatory text, is part of a large body of laws aimed at regulating border, trade, and people circulation in the South Cone, specifically between the towns of Sant'Ana do Livramento, Brazil, and Rivera, Uruguay. Documents like this are relevant to economic, railway, and diplomacy history because they illustrate the diplomatic efforts of Hermes da Fonseca, the president of Brazil (1910-1914), and José Batlle Ordóez, president of Uruguay's East State.
