Argentina was created under a slowly growing spanish colonial rule. The site of Buenos Aires was settled in1580.There were invading British forces that were expelled by the people of Argentina between 1806-1807(1). After the famous spanish explorer, Napoleon, conqueored Spain in 1808, Argentina finally developed it's own Government in 1810. Their independence was finally declared on July 9th 1816(1).

During World War I Argentina had kept neutral during battle and it had chosen to do the same during World War II(1). In 1921 Argentina suffered from a great depression (3). Towards the end of the war they avowed war on the Axis powers on March 27th, 1945. Another important man during this time was the army colonel, Juan D. Peron. <span style="color: rgb(133, 196, 59); font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <span style="color: rgb(133, 196, 59); font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"><span style="color: rgb(19, 174, 81)">He won the presidential elections in 1946 along with 1951. After Juan Peron's political partner and second wife died, a very quick three years later Peron quickly slipped into exile. Argentina entered a long period of military dictatorship with brief intervals of constitutional government (1) In the following years of 1958 Arturo Frondizi becomes the president of Argentina. Juan Peron then declares that he wants to return to Argentina and when he does he is given the title as president. Peron's third wife, Isabel Peron, is also give a title of being Vice President. Isabel Peron is overthrown by military Junta on march 24th (2). The army commander in chief, General Jorge Videla, began the launch the <span style="color: rgb(19, 174, 81)">Dirty war <span style="color: rgb(19, 174, 81)"> to suppress opposition (2). Somewhere between 9,000 to 30,000 people of Argentina were either abducted or tortured or killed by various security forces. General Videla then stepped down and the country was turned over to General Viola, but was quickly removed and was replaced by General Galtieri (2). The General sent troops that were not prepared to the islands of Falkland where they lost 600+ soldiers (2). Eventually on the 14th of June in 1982 Argentina did surrender but they did not give up their claim of the Falkland islands (3).

Argentina then began a democratiuc civilian government in December of 1983, and three very influencial mena and former presidents were convicted and sentenced to prison for their involvement in murder and torture (3). Shortly after that time Carlos Saul Menem was elected to be the president of Argentina. During his presidency he changed the curency rate so that the Argentine peso was a ratio of one: one with the U.S dollar. After Menem's time in office Fernando De Le Rua was elected and raised the taxes and made huge spending cuts (3). In 2000 De Le Rua apologized for giving a sanctuary to the Nazi's in World War II. The houses of congress was then taken over by the Justicialist Party and people were then afraid that the Justicialist party would lower the monetary value of the peso so people haistly tried to withdraw all of their money from the banks but were unsuccessful because of the monthly limit the bank put on the amount of money you could withdraw(3). Soon after Fernando De Le Rua resigned from presidency (3). He left the presidency with a foregin debt of $132 billion dollars.
