"Beats to your Rythm"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
History
History in Argentina was very interesting. It includes having wars with other places such as Great Britain. Before the Spanish began to colonize Argentina in the 1500's, the area was mainly populated by indigenous groups with most belonged to the Ican empire. A revolution erupted in 1810, and lasted 6 years before independence was declared. Another interesting fact about there history is that Carlos Saúl Menem was voted president in 1989. Menem became the first democratically elected Argentine President to peacefully replace another president who had been elected. He worked towards containing runway inflation,and stabilizing democratic institutions.
In addition to waring with spain, there was also a war with the falk lands. Tensions grew between the United Kingdom and Argentina over the las Islas Malunias( or the Falkland Islands)UK rejected an Argentine proposal for talks on the islands sovereignty (sovereignty means power of authority). This cited the Falkland Islanders' strong desire to maintain association with the UK. Argentina still claims that they're potentially rich in soil. Another cool fact about their history has to be when Perón( a ruler) was killed after a series of Military and elected governments. He left his wife Eva to rule. She was outsted in 1976 by the military which caused a seven year long dirty war. It was against the armed and unarmed civilians in efforts to reconstruct Argentina.
