Things to know
History
Argentina's history is marked by indigenous cultures, European colonization, and waves of immigration. The Spanish arrived in the 16th century, establishing settlements and exploiting resources, leading to a rich cultural blend.
The country gained independence in 1816, but political instability and economic challenges followed. The 20th century saw the rise of populism, notably under Juan Perón, and a military dictatorship that left a lasting impact on society.
