The corned beef replace the charque, and the canned meat was replaced by frozen meat, and who know? probably with enough genetic engineering we don't need the ice in the future. And probably the beef too.
The last warship near Montevideo was the Graff Spee and after the 24 hours that sea laws permit, they had to leave the port. Outside the bay is where the royal navy wait the germans, but -fortunately- there are no confrontation: for example, with an explossion of the boilers of the Graff Spee half the city may have swept.
Flagships not count and the uruguayan navy army is small (for say something).
Malvinas war was a big mistake, for both sides, and have not to much sense repeat this situations.
Curiously, Almirant Graff Maximilian von Spee died in the Falklands, within two children, in the first world war, fighting against british people.
What we see as irreconcilable enemy, could be a best friend few years later: do you imagine another massacre between germans and british in our days? Or japanese and us people? Or spanish and italians? War have sense only after a big advertising effort.
