"Observations on the Present State of the Affairs of the River Plate" by Thomas Baines is a historical account written during the mid-19th century. The book addresses the complex political and military conflicts in the River Plate region, specifically focusing on the destructive war involving Buenos Ayres and the Republic of Uruguay. It emphasizes the significance of these events for British commercial interests and national honor, arguing for intervention by Great Britain and France to restore peace and independence in the region. In this work, Baines outlines the situation of Monte Video, which is besieged by Buenos Ayrean forces under the command of General Oribe. He details the historical context leading to Uruguay's independence, asserting that interference is necessary to prevent the loss of this sovereignty, which is crucial for regional stability and trade. The book elaborates on the consequences of continued conflict, describing the potential devastation that could follow if one power dominates both banks of the River Plate. Baines emphasizes the commercial benefits of Uruguayan independence for British interests, advocating for prompt and decisive action to ensure the Republic's survival amidst escalating tensions.
