On 20 November 1845, a political context complex internal and deep divisions fostered a new attempt of two European powers (France and England) to colonize parts of our country. Governor Rosas, San Martín supported him from exile and throughout the country there was a desire to remain a free nation and not a foreign colony, even at the cost of enormous sacrifice that would mean. The purpose of the invaders was to enter the Parana, to which the Argentine government has anticipated preparing the resistance led by Lucio Mansilla in a place near San Pedro: Vuelta de Obligado. The enemy forces far exceeded in number and in modern weaponry, to Argentines, who after 7 hours of fighting were displaced. Although he could cross over into the Paraná, the enemy could not take the costs (of vital strategic necessity), so his victory was not complete. Instead, he reinvigorated the national spirit and since everyone posts favored the defense of our sovereignty, which eventually was reinforced. The remarkable spirit of resistance shown in the Vuelta de Obligado finished confirm our status as free and independent nation, since even those who did not sympathize with Rosas came to realize that being conquered by foreign forces was not a departure, and that people do not going to let this happen.
