Argentina

Template:UnderConTemplate:CountryInfoArgentina, officially known as the Argentine Republic, is located in the southern part of South America. 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.

Argentina usually doesn't start discussions but can get very aggressive when he feels insulted, or when other countryballs 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.

History

Early Years

In 1861, the Argentine Confederation engaged in conflict with the State of Buenos Ayres. The war concluded with Buenos Ayres 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 big part of the inhabitant in the process, at the same time Argie stopped another confederate revolt. During 1870 and 1874 Argentina had a civil war when the Mitrists from Buenos Aires revolted because Domingo Faustino Sarmiento got the presidency and not 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 them 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 its victory in the 1916 elections and the establishment of UCR 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.
