The Revolution of the Lances (Revolución de las Lanzas) occurred in Uruguay from September 12, 1870 to April 6, 1872.
Parties
Led by Timoteo Aparicio, leader of the National Party of Uruguay (the Blancos) and a former army officer, it was named after the tacuara, an improvised weapon used by South American militias, consisting of a knife tied to a stalk of cane similar to bamboos, resulting in a rudimentary lance.
Resolution
The series of events ended with a power-sharing agreement between the Blanco and the Colorado Parties.
The agreement in one form or another was to last until the early 20th century, when the Blanco forces were defeated at the Battle of Masoller in 1904.

- Battle of Corralito
- Taking of the Fortaleza del Cerro (Toma de la Fortaleza del Cerro)
- Battle of Sauce (1870)
