    Otheruses Argentina is a country in South America, situated between the Andes in the west and the southern Atlantic Ocean in the east and south. It is bordered by Paraguay and Bolivia in the north, Brazil and Uruguay in the northeast, and Chile in the west and south. It also claims the British overseas territoryBritish overseas territories of the Falkland Islands (known in Argentina as the ''Islas Malvinas '') and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. Under the name of Argentine Antarctica, it claims around 1,000,000 square kilometrekm² of Antarctica, overlapping other claims by Chile and the United Kingdom. By area, it is the second largest country of South America after Brazil and the 8th largest country in the world.The country is formally named ''República Argentina'' es-Argentina.ogg2=(pronunciation) (Argentine Republic), while for purposes of legislation the form ''Nación Argentina'' (Argentine Nation) is used.

    Origin and history of the name - mainOrigin and history of the name of Argentina The name Argentina is derived from the Latin ''argentum'' (silver). The origin of this name goes back to the first voyages made by the SpainSpanish conquerors to the River Plate. The survivors of the shipwrecked expedition mounted by Juan Díaz de Solís found indigenous people in the region who gave them silver objects as gifts. The news about the legendary Sierra del Plata – a mountain rich in silver – reached Spain around 1524. Since then, the Spaniards named the river of Solís, Río de la Plata (River of the Silver). The first mention of the Argentina name was in the Ruy Diaz de Guzman's book ''Historia del descubrimiento, población, y conquista del Río de la Plata'' in 1612. (History of the discovery, population, and conquest of the River Plate), naming the territory discovered by Solis as Tierra Argentina (the land of silver).

    History - mainHistory of Argentina Europeans arrived in the region in 1502. Spain established a permanent colony on the site of Buenos Aires in 1580, and established the Viceroyalty of the River Plate in 1776. Independence from Spain was declared on 9 July 1816. Centralist and federationist groups were in conflict, until national unity was established and the Argentine constitutionconstitution promulgated in 1853.Foreign investment and immigration from Europe aided the introduction of modern agricultural techniques and integration of Argentina into the world economy in the late 19th century. In the 1880s the "Conquest of the Desert" subdued or exterminated the remaining native tribes of Patagonia.From 1880 to 1930 Argentina became one of the world's ten wealthiest nations. Conservative forces dominated Argentine politics until 1916, when their traditional rivals, the Radical Civic UnionRadicals, won control of the government. The military forced Hipólito Yrigoyen from power in 1930 and ushered in another decade of Conservative rule. and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, and the Argentine AntarcticaAntarctica, that overlaps both Chilean and British claims, though all three are signatory to the Antarctic Treaty]]Political change led to the ascendance, in 1946, of Juan Perón, who pursued policies aimed at empowering the working class and greatly expanded the number of unionized workers. The Revolución Libertadora of 1955 deposed him.In the 1950s and 1960s, military and civilian administrations traded power. When military governments failed to revive the economy and suppress escalating terrorism in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the way was open for Perón's return to the presidency in 1973, with his third wife, Isabel PerónMaría Estela Isabel Martínez de Perón, as Vice President. During this period, extremists on the political leftleft and political rightright carried out terrorismterrorist acts with a frequency that threatened public order.Perón died in 1974. His wife succeeded him in office, but a military coup removed her from office on in 1976, and the armed forces formally exercised power through a junta in charge of the self-appointed National Reorganization Process, until 1983. The armed forces repressed opposition using harsh illegal measures (the "Dirty War"); thousands of dissidents were "desaparecidosdisappeared".Economic problems, charges of corruption, public revulsion in the face of human rights abuses and, finally, the country's 1982 defeat in the Falklands War discredited the Argentine military regime. Democracy was restored in 1983. Raúl Alfonsín's Radical government took steps intending to account for the "disappeared", establishing civilian control of the armed forces and consolidating democratic institutions. Failure to resolve endemic economic problems and an inability to maintain public confidence caused his early departure.President Carlos Menem imposed Argentine pesopeso-US dollardollar fixed exchange rateparity in 1991 to stop hyperinflation, and adopted far-reaching market-based policies, dismantling protectionismprotectionist barriers and business deregulationregulations, and implementing a privatization program. These reforms contributed to significant increases in investment and growth with stable prices through most of the 1990s.The Menem and Fernando de la Rúade la Rúa administrations faced diminished competitiveness of exports, massive imports which damaged national industry and induced unemployment, chronic fiscal and trade deficits, and the contagion of several economic crises. The Asian financial crisis in 1998 precipitated an outflow of capital that mushroomed into a recession, which led to a total freezing of the bank accounts (the ''corralito''), and culminated in a financial panic in November 2001. Next month, amidst December 2001 riots (Argentina)bloody riots, President de la Rúa resigned.Several new presidents followed in quick succession. Argentina default (finance)defaulted on its international debt obligations. The peso's almost 12-year-old link with the dollar was abandoned, which was followed by massive devaluationcurrency depreciation and inflation, in turn triggering a spike in unemployment and poverty. In 2003, Néstor Kirchner became the president, and started implementing new policies based on re-industrialization, import substitution, increased exports, consistent fiscal surplus, and a high exchange rate.

    Politics - mainPolitics of Argentina The Argentine constitution of 1853, as revised in 1994, mandates a Separation of powersseparation of powers into Executive (government)executive, legislative, and judiciaryjudicial branches at the national and provincial level. The president and vice president are directly elected to 4-year terms. Both are limited to two consecutive terms; they are allowed to stand for a third term or more after an interval of at least one term. The president appoints cabinet (government)cabinet ministers, and the constitution grants him considerable power as both head of state and head of government, including authority to enact laws by presidential decree under conditions of "urgency and necessity" and the line-item veto.Argentina's parliament is the bicameral National Congress or ''Argentine National CongressCongreso de la Nación'', consisting of a Senate (''Argentine SenateSenado'') of 72 seats and a Chamber of Deputies (''Argentine Chamber of DeputiesCámara de Diputados'') of 257 members. Since 2001, senators have been directly elected, with each province, including the Federal Capital, represented by three senators. Senators serve 6-year terms. One-third of the Senate stands for reelection every 2 years via a partial majority system in each district. Members of the Chamber of Deputies are directly elected to 4-year term via a system of proportional representation. Voters elect half the members of the lower house every 2 years.

    Administrative Divisions - mainProvinces of Argentina Argentina is divided into 23 provinces (''provincias''; singular: ''provincia''), and 1 autonomous city (commonly known as ''capital federal''), marked with an asterisk: * The current official name for the federal district is "Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires".Buenos Aires has been the capital of Argentina since its unification, but there have been projects to move the administrative center elsewhere. During the presidency of Raúl Alfonsín a law was passed ordering the move of the federal capital to Viedma, a city in the Patagonic province of Río Negro. Studies were underway when hyperinflation, in 1989, killed off the project. Though the law was never formally repealed, it has become a mere historical relic, and the project has been forgotten.

    Urbanization - About 2.7 million people live in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, and roughly 11.5 million in Gran Buenos AiresGreater Buenos Aires (2001), making it one of the largest urban conglomerates in the world. Together with their respective metropolitan areas, the second and third largest cities in Argentina, Córdoba, ArgentinaCórdoba and Rosario, each comprise about 1.3 million inhabitants.Most European immigrants to Argentina (coming in great waves especially around the First and the Second World Wars) settled in the cities, which offered jobs, education, and other opportunities that enabled newcomers to enter the middle class. Since the 1930s many rural workers have moved to the big cities.The 1990s saw many rural towns become ghost towns when train services were abandoned and local products manufactured on a small scale were replaced by massive amounts of imported cheap goods, in part because of the monetary policy which kept the U. S. dollar exchange rate fixed and low. Many slums (''villa miseriavillas miseria'') sprouted in the outskirts of the largest cities, inhabited by empoverished low-class urban dwellers and migrants from smaller towns in the interior of the country.Argentina's urban areas have a European look, reflecting the influence of their European settlers. Many towns and cities are built like Spanish cities around a main square called a plaza. A cathedral and important government buildings often face the plaza. The general layout of the cities is called a ''damero'', that is, a checkerboard, since it is based on a pattern of square blocks, though modern developments sometimes depart from it (for example, the city of La Plata, built at the end of the 19th century, is organized as a checkerboard plus diagonal avenues at fixed intervals).In descending order by number of inhabitants, the major cities in Argentina are Buenos Aires, Córdoba, ArgentinaCórdoba, Rosario, Mendoza, Santa Fe, ArgentinaSanta Fe, Mar del Plata, La Plata, Tucumán, Salta, and Bahía Blanca.For a more comprehensive list, see List of cities in Argentina.

    Geography - mainGeography of Argentina Argentina can roughly be divided into three parts: the fertile plains of the Pampas in the central part of the country, the centre of Argentina's agricultureagricultural wealth; the flat to rolling plateau of Patagonia in the southern half down to Tierra del Fuego; and the rugged Andes mountain range along the western border with Chile, with the highest point being the Cerro Aconcagua at 6,960 m.Major rivers include the Paraguay RiverParaguay, Bermejo RiverBermejo, Colorado River (Argentina)Colorado, Uruguay RiverUruguay and the largest river, the Paraná RiverParaná. The latter two flow together before meeting the Atlantic Ocean, forming the estuary of the River Plate. The Argentine climate is predominantly temperate climatetemperate with extremes ranging from subtropical climatesubtropical in the north to arid/sub-Antarctic in far south.

    Enclaves and exclaves - There is one Argentine exclave: the island of Martín García (co-ordinates coor dm3411S5815W ). It is situated near the confluence of the Paraná and Uruguay rivers, a mere kilometre inside Uruguayan waters, about 3.5 km from the Uruguayan coastline, near the small city of Martín Chico (itself about halfway between Nueva Palmira and Colonia).An agreement reached by Argentina and Uruguay in 1973 reaffirmed Argentine jurisdiction over the island, ending a century-old dispute between the two countries. According to the terms of the agreement, Martín García is to be devoted exclusively to a natural preserve. Its area is about 2 km², and the population about 200 persons.

    Economy - mainEconomy of Argentina Argentina benefits from rich natural resources, a highly literate population, an export-oriented agricultureagricultural sector, and a diversified industryindustrial base. The country historically had a large middle class, compared to other Latin American countries, but this segment of the population was decimated by a succession of economic crises. Today, while a significant segment of the population is still financially well-off, they stay in sharp contrast with millions who live in poverty or on the brink of it.Since the late 1970s the country piled up public debt and was plagued by bouts of high inflation. In 1991, the government fixed exchange ratepegged the peso to the United States dollarU. S. dollar and limited the growth in the monetary base. The government then embarked on a path of free tradetrade liberalisation, deregulation, and privatisation. Inflation dropped and gross domestic productGDP grew, but external economic shocks and failures of the system diluted its benefits, causing it to crumble in slow motion, from 1995 and up to the Argentine economic crisiscollapse in 2001.By 2002 Argentina had default (finance)defaulted on its debt, its GDP had shrunk, unemployment was over 18%, the peso had devaluationdevalued 75% after being floating exchange ratefloated, and inflation was hitting again. However, careful spending control and heavy taxes on now soaring exports gave the state the tools to regain resources and conduct monetary policy.In 2003, import substitution policies and soaring exports, coupled with a lower inflation and expansive economic measures, triggered a surge in the GDP, which was repeated in 2004, creating jobs and encouraging internal consumption. Capital flight decreased, and foreign investment slowly returned. The influx of foreign currency from exports created such a huge trade surplus that the Central Bank was forced to buy dollars from the market, which it continues to do at the time, to be accumulated as reserve currencyreserves.

    Demographics - mainDemographics of Argentina Unlike most of its neighbouring countries, Argentina's population descends overwhelmingly from Europeans. The basic demographic stock (85% of the population) is made up of descendants of the colonial Spanish settlers, augmented by descendants of later ItalyItalian and SpainSpanish immigrants. Around 56% of Argentinians, however, possess at least some indigenous Indigenous Peoples of the AmericasAmerindian ancestry (as discovered by genetic research). Those who claimed their ancestry as Spanish — or Spanish and another ancestry, such as Spanish-Italian, but not Italian alone — were most likely to have some remnant Amerindian ancestry; a legacy of the almost complete absorption of Argentina's colonial mestizo majority by the post-colonial mass migratory influx of Europeans.The indigenous Indigenous Peoples of the AmericasAmerindian — poorly estimated between 500,000 and 2 million — and identifiably mestizo populations are concentrated in the provinces of the north, northwest and south. As of 2001, 2.8% of Argentine households host a person that identifies as belonging to an indigenous group.Waves of immigrants from European countries arrived in the late 19th century19th and early 20th century20th centuries. The Patagonian Chubut Valley has a significant Welsh settlement in ArgentinaWelsh-descended population and retains many aspects of Welsh culture. Other important immigrant groups came from Germany (German colonies were settled in the provinces of Entre Ríos, Misiones, Formosa, Córdoba and the Patagonian region, as well as in Buenos Aires itself), France (mostly settled in Buenos Aires city and province), Scandinavia (especially Sweden) the United Kingdom and Ireland (Buenos Aires and the Patagonia) and Eastern European nations, such as Poland, Russia, Ukraine and the Balkans region (especially Croatia and Serbia) and others. The JewJewish community in Argentina is comprised predominantly of Ashkenazi Jews of Northern and Eastern European origin, and numbers about 300,000, which is the largest in Latin America.Syrian, LebanonLebanese, and other Middle Eastern immigrants number about 500,000, mainly in urban areas.Small numbers of people from East Asia have settled Argentina, mainly in Buenos Aires. The first Asian-Argentines were of Japanese descent, but Koreans, Vietnamese, India and ChinaChinese soon followed.There was a substantial immigration from other Latin American countries during the 1990s from Bolivia, Paraguay and Chile number about estimated 2.000.000 and 4.000.000.

    Culture - mainCulture of Argentina See also the articles on the Cuisine of Argentinacuisine, the Music of Argentinamusic, and the Football in Argentinafootball of Argentina. For a prevalent custom among Argentinians, see Yerba Matemate. For the traditional Buenos Aires dance, see tango (dance)tango.Also see the list of Argentineslist of people from Argentina.

    Language - The only official language is Spanish languageSpanish, although some immigrants and indigenous communities have retained their List of Native American languages in Argentinaoriginal languages in specific points of the country.Argentina is the largest Spanish-speaking community that employs ''voseo'' (the use of the pronoun ''vos'' instead of ''tú'', associated with some alternate verb conjugations). The most prevalent dialect is Rioplatense SpanishRioplatense, with most speakers located in the basin of the River Plate.

    Religion - mainReligion in Argentina Most of Argentina's population is at least nominally Roman Catholic ChurchRoman Catholic. Roman Catholicism is supported by the Argentine state, as stated in the constitution. Evangelical churches gained a place in Argentina especially since the 1980s. The country also has the largest JudaismJewish population in Latin America, about 300,000 strong, and is home to one of the largest Islamic mosques in Latin America. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) number over 330,300, the seventh largest concentration in the worldlds.org.ar. Traditional Protestant communities are also present.
