For the sake of this thread assume that Britain gained control and annexed what would become Uruguay in the late 1700s or early 1800s. Over time it sees a fair amount of immigration, gains responsible government, becomes a dominion with Statute of Westminster 1931 and in the early 1950s institutes its own citizenship. To all intents and purposes it's like Canada nowadays. Considering its small size even if there was this nation sitting across the River Plate from Buenos Aires I don't think it would probably dissuade the junta from invading, but you never know so what do other people think? Even with shared links Uruguay could well decide to just stay silent on the issue and keep out of things in view of regional diplomatic and economic relations.
