===Early Years===
In 1861, the {{i|ArgentineConfed}} [[Argentine Confederation]] engaged in conflict with the {{i|State of Buenos Aires}} [[State of Buenos Aires]]. The war concluded with Buenos Aires being annexed by the Confederation, leading to the formation of modern-day Argentina. Subsequently, Buenos Aires initiated another civil war, resulting in the unification of the remaining provinces under a {{i|Centralism}} [[Centralism|unitario]] government.

=== Early Years ===
Argentina secretly supported the {{i|Colorado Party}} [[Colorado Party|Colorado]] government in his effort to take over {{i|Uruguay}} [[Uruguay]], while the {{i|Brazil Emp}} [[Empire of Brazil|Brazilian Empire]] directly attacked Uruguay to assist. In 1864, {{i|Paraguay}} [[Paraguay]] attacked the Brazilian Empire, possibly to support his ally or to gain direct access to the sea. Paraguay requested passage through Argentina to reach Uruguay, but was denied, leading to an attack on Argentina. Consequently, Uruguay, the Brazilian Empire, and Argentina formed an alliance and defeated Paraguay. During the conflict, Argentina also dealt with a confederate revolt.

During the conflict, Argentina also dealt with a confederate revolt.


In 1870 Argentina conquered the {{i|Chaco}} [[Chaco]], killing a large part of the {{i|3ball}} [[Native Americans|inhabitant]] population in the process. At the same time, Argie also stopped another confederate revolt. Between 1870 and 1874, Argentina faced a "civil war" when the mitrists (Mitre supporters) from {{i|Buenos Aires}} [[Autonomous City of Buenos Aires|Buenos Aires]] revolted because {{i|ClassLib}} [[Classical Liberalism|Domingo Faustino Sarmiento]] won the presidency instead of {{i|Argentine Unitarianism}} [[Argentine Unitarianism|Bartolomé Mitre]], but they ended up losing the war.

In 1879, during the War of the {{i|Water}} [[Pacific Ocean|Pacific]], Argentina was considering helping {{i|Bolivia}} [[Bolivia]] and ​​{{i|Peru}} [[Peru]]. But {{i|Chile}} [[Chile]] offered him the majority of the {{i|Patagonia}} [[Patagonia]] if he doesn't intervene, and Argentina took the deal. After the war, Argentina and {{i|Chile}} [[Chile]] almost killed {{i|Wallmapu}} [[Wallmapu]] to death and took all of his clay.

In 1880 Argentina had a civil war again, this time {{i|BuenosAires}} [[Buenos Aires]] started the conflict because he wanted the {{i|Buenos Aires}} [[Autonomous City of Buenos Aires|capital]] to be part of him, the also {{i|Argentine Unitarianism}} [[Argentine Unitarianism|Mitrist]] {{i|Corrientes Province}} [[Corrientes Province|Corrientes]] helped him, but both were beaten.

From 1891 to 1916, Argentina experienced conflicts between the ruling {{i|Conservatism}} [[Conservatism|conservative]] oligarchy, known as the {{i|NatAutParty}} [[National Autonomist Party]], and the {{i|Radical Civic Union}} [[Radical Civic Union]] (UCR), largely due to the {{i|Oligarchy}} [[Oligarchy|oligarchy]]'s control over the political system.

“”I'm an Argentinian. How does an Argentinian kill himself? He climbs to the top of his 🟢 ego and jumps off.
— 🟢 Jorge Mario Bergoglio, The Two Popes

Argentina, officially known as the Argentine Republic, is a 🟢 Hispanic 🟢 democracy located in the southern part of 🟢 Latin America known for his vibrant soccer culture, world-class beef, and passionate tango dancing. Argentina usually doesn't start discussions but can get very 🟢 aggressive when he feels insulted, or when other countries make fun of him pointing at yuo, 🟢 Brazil. But most of the time he is a very welcoming, magnetic and friendly ball, just like his adoptive parent, 🟢 Italy.

Spanning an area of 2,780,400 km² (1,073,500 sq mi), he is the second-largest country in South America after 🟢 Brazil, the fourth-largest in the Americas, and the eighth-largest in the world. Argentina shares most of the Southern Cone with 🟢 Chile to the west and is bordered by 🟢 Bolivia and 🟢 Paraguay to the north, 🟢 Brazil to the northeast, 🟢 Uruguay and the south 🟢 Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the 🟢 Drake Passage to the south.

Argentina is sometimes considered a rising power (not a potential superpower, though), meaning they have been able to join many international organisations, like 🟢 Mercosur, the 🟢 Organization of American States, and, of course, the 🟢 United Nations (like every other sovereign country). He also used to be a part of the 🟢 Union of South American Nations.

History

Early Years

In 1861, the 🟢 Argentine Confederation engaged in conflict with the 🟢 State of Buenos Aires. The war concluded with Buenos Aires being annexed by the Confederation, leading to the formation of modern-day Argentina. Subsequently, Buenos Aires initiated another civil war, resulting in the unification of the remaining provinces under a 🟢 unitario government.

Wars and Allies

Argentina secretly supported the 🟢 Colorado government in his effort to take over 🟢 Uruguay, while the 🟢 Brazilian Empire directly attacked Uruguay to assist. In 1864, 🟢 Paraguay attacked the Brazilian Empire, possibly to support his ally or to gain direct access to the sea. Paraguay requested passage through Argentina to reach Uruguay, but was denied, leading to an attack on Argentina. Consequently, Uruguay, the Brazilian Empire, and Argentina formed an alliance and defeated Paraguay. During the conflict, Argentina also dealt with a confederate revolt.

In 1870 Argentina conquered the 🟢 Chaco, killing a large part of the 🟢 inhabitant population in the process. At the same time, Argie also stopped another confederate revolt. Between 1870 and 1874, Argentina faced a "civil war" when the mitrists (Mitre supporters) from 🟢 Buenos Aires revolted because 🟢 Domingo Faustino Sarmiento won the presidency instead of 🟢 Bartolomé Mitre, but they ended up losing the war.

In 1879, during the War of the 🟢 Pacific, Argentina was considering helping 🟢 Bolivia and ​​🟢 Peru. But 🟢 Chile offered him the majority of the 🟢 Patagonia if he doesn't intervene, and Argentina took the deal. After the war, Argentina and Chile almost killed 🟢 Wallmapu to death and took all of his clay.

In 1880 Argentina had a civil war again, this time 🟢 Buenos Aires started the conflict because he wanted the 🟢 capital to be part of him, the also 🟢 Mitrist 🟢 Corrientes helped him, but both were beaten. Around 1885-1886 Argentina took most of the 🟢 Puna de Atacama from 🟢 Bolivia after invading him. During the 🟢 Russo-Japanese 🟢 War, the 🟢 Empire of Japan and Argentina became friends after he sold him ships as support.

Interior Issues

From 1891 to 1916, Argentina experienced conflicts between the ruling 🟢 conservative oligarchy, known as the 🟢 National Autonomist Party, and the 🟢 Radical Civic Union (UCR), largely due to the 🟢 oligarchy's control over the political system. Although the oligarchy initially suppressed the UCR's revolts, the UCR eventually gained power after electoral reforms, leading to his victory in the 1916 elections and the establishment of himself as the ruling party.

In 1913, 🟢 CABA invented an 🟢 underground tram similar to the one that 🟢 London had built using some artifacts that 🟢 Belgium gave him. In 1969, 🟢 CDMX stole that invention and sent it to be imported throughout Latin America.

Around 1920, Argentina, ruled by 🟢 radicalism, got attacked by 🟢 anarchists and 🟢 rebel workers, so Argie destroyed them, killing thousands of rebels. Argentina stayed neutral during WW1 even under the pressure of the 🟢 United Kingdom to join, and even helped 🟢 Germany with supplies. 🟢 this is crazy foreshadowing

During WW2, Argentina tried to stay neutral because he felt a lot of respect towards his 🟢 Axis friends and 🟢 adoptive father, but declared war on 🟢 Nazi Germany and the 🟢 Empire of Japan in 1944 under the 🟢 AMERICAN pressure. After the war, Argie helped 🟢 Italy to recover by sending food and also a lot of 🟢 Nazis hid in Argentina's clay.

Cold War

Argentina became a 🟢 military dictatorship during 1930-1932 due to 🟢 Murica's intervention for Cold War reasons. In 1965 Argentina "defeated" (killed more opponents but there weren't any territorial gains) 🟢 Chile at the 🟢 Laguna del Desierto border clash incident, rising the tensions higher than never before. The situation in Argentina worsened with the death of the last pure-blooded 🟢 Selk'nam in 1974. Truly sad.

Argentina became a military dictatorship again during 1976-1983 due to 🟢 Murica's intervention for Cold War reasons (yes, this one was real).

Argentina fought against 🟢 left-wing guerrilla groups like the 🟢 ERP and 🟢 Montoneros, which had formed during the Cold War. The military used brutal methods, including kidnapping, torture, and forced disappearances, to defeat these groups who were just as brutal. This period, known as the "Dirty War", saw the military target not only guerrillas but also anyone they suspected of opposing the regime. By the early 1980s, the guerrilla groups were defeated, but an estimated 10,000 to 30,000 people were disappeared, many never to be seen again. These actions have been widely condemned, and after the return to 🟢 democracy in 1983, many former military leaders were prosecuted for their crimes.

Through 1976-1982 Argentina had an stress attack because of the mental instability that 🟢 dictatorship and the 🟢 Nazis in his clay were causing on his mind, and he almost declared war on 🟢 Chile in 1978 but 🟢 Vatican City convinced him to not do that. Argie wanted some islands close to him so he invaded the 🟢 Falklands and 🟢 sanguche islands and occupied them for some time but 🟢 United Kingdom beat Argentina, forcing him to leave the islands alone. This was known as the Falklands War, which happened in 1982.

After the war, Argentina reflexioned and became 🟢 democratic again. In 1989 Argentina defeated the guerrilla group called 🟢 MTP.

Recent Times

In 1990 Argentina became more 🟢 interventionist, he joined the 🟢 Gulf Coalition to fight 🟢 Ba'athist Iraq, capturing +500 ships, recovering his 🟢 pride after the 🟢 Malvinas war and becoming a non-🟢 NATO ally. In 1991 he helped 🟢 Croatia fight against 🟢 Yugoslavia, and in 1994 he participated in 🟢🟢🟢🟢 Operation Uphold Democracy against 🟢 Haiti.

The 🟢 AMIA was 🟢 bombed by an 🟢 unknown ball in 1994, but 🟢 Milei suspects that and is later confirmed that it was 🟢 Iran and 🟢 Hezbollah. In 1995, Argentina sold weapons to 🟢 Ecuador for the 🟢 Cenepa War against 🟢 Peru, Argentina regrets doing that though. And in 2001 Argie suffered an 🟢 economic crisis. In 2013 🟢 an Argentinian became the 🟢 pope, being the first "🟢 New World" ball to achieve this, the same year another Argentinian made a 3D animated film of fútbol toys that come to life (with the help of 🟢 Spain).

Argentina was a part of the 🟢 COVID-19 pandemic and locked down the country to prevent the spread of virus. In 2022, he participated in the 2022 🟢 FIFA World Cup in 🟢 Qatar, and he manages to win the finals with his star player 🟢 Messi, winning him his first World Cup. In 2023, Argentina elected 🟢 Javier Milei president. 🟢 Milei's views distinguish him in the Argentine political landscape and helped fix Argentina's 🟢 economy quite a lot.

In FIFA World Cup 2026, Argentina's opponents, mostly 🟢 anti-West 🟢 pro-Pali LARPers who got mad at Argentina beating 🟢 Egypt, launched an anti-Argentina and anti-Messi 🟢 smear campaign on the 🟢 internet, paying people to paint Argentina as an 🟢 evil 🟢 racist country that collaborated with 🟢 Israel and the 🟢 Jews to rig the game even though Argentina was defeated by 🟢 Spain.
