The Battle of Martín García was fought from 10 to 15 March 1814 between the forces of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata under the command of then-Lieutenant Colonel Guillermo Brown, and the royalist forces commanded by frigate captain Jacinto de Romarate, defending the region. After a small naval engagement where the running aground of the leading revolutionary vessel gave the royalists a small victory, but suffering numerous casualties, the United Provinces troops took the island by assault forcing Romarate's squadron to retreat. Brown's victory divided the enemy's forces, and secured the United Provinces' control of access to the interior waterways, and made possible their advance on Montevideo.

We want Argentina to be peaceful, powerful and sovereign and a mass of unity and happiness like nowhere in the world. We want the welfare of workers, the dignity of the poor and the greatness of this country that Perón has given us and that we all defend as the fairest, the freest and the most sovereign of the earth.
